Give him the gold, make it real or else forget about it.
It is the highest expression of horse-training, and even though he finished fifth, people on social media are screaming for a special award for Lorenzo.
It was a once in a lifetime event when Spain's Severo Jesus Juardo Lopez and horse Lorenzo stole everyone's hearts with a dressage performance to 'Smooth" by Carlos Santana in Monday's Individual Freestyle.
López and Lorenzo put on an impressive display in Rio, set to the Latin guitarist's Grammy-winning 1999 hit with Rob Thomas.
The 1,300 pound horse pirouetted and danced more nimbly than most people I know, and the music was a big departure from the stuffy soundtracks that have come before.
SB Nation reported, "The crowd wildly clapped to Bon Jovi's beat and lustily booed when the judges gave Jurado Lopez a score that put him off the podium."
