Thank you Lesley, for these pictures. You have managed to show more of the equestrian paralympics in these few photos than Channel 4 showed in two days ! ! Everybody I know and a lot on the forum I don't know are disgusted by the Channel 4 supposed "comprihensive coverage" BBC spoiled us...

Reading my H and H this evening, I came across the article on page 8. entitled Paralympics. TV coverage 'dependant on medals' It hinted that coverage may depend on how well our G.B. riders do! But a channel 4 spokesman is quoted as saying there would be "comprehensive coverage" but was...

It looks like Channel 4's view of equestrianism is set ! Frankly, they obviously don't think it is as important as any of the other sports featured in the coverage of the paralympics ! Example.... 3.5mins of adverts then 5.5mins of Lee's test then back to the studio to talk ! ! and so it...

I love the rather understated title "Problems with channel 4" ! ! ! Last night "the presenters ?" (You know the two people who filled in between various different sports AND adverts) confidently stated that todays programmes featured swimming, athletics, 5 a side football, cycling etc; and...

I may be a little long in the tooth, But ! 36" = 1 yard. 39" = 1 mtr. To convert from inches to centimetres....multiply number of inches by 2.54 39" x 2.54 = 99.06 cm. (call it 1 metre or 100cm !) To convert from centimetres to inches.... 100cm :- 2.54 =...

Thankyou Leg-End, I spoke to Louise last night (Several times!) before and during the opening ceremony. Firstly, she was realy thrilled for you and looks forward to seeing you later in the year. Louise also told me that it was a very special feeling watching the ceremony with the French ! Very...

Hello Leg-end, Just thought I would put in a word on behalf of LouiseM (My daughter) She will be really pleased to hear of your progress! To overcome confidence issues is the biggest step you can take into the future ! ! Fantastic :D As you probably know she is on a showjumping tour in Sunny...

When I joined the family business (Doesn't matter what it was) My Father in Law told me something which I have never forgotten, regarding the work ethic. He said " Never ask a person to do a job that you are not prepared to do yourself. And if you can't, (for whatever reason ) offer to make a...

For Puppy... I understand every painful thing you have said, and my heart goes out to you. I can't say anything to you that will take this awful hurt away. My accident happened 54years ago and I consider myself to be one of the luckiest people alive. I had no outward scars except scratches...

Last word from Mum (O K last few words from Mum !) TX1....I learned a very big lesson ! I had my accident in the days when most of the top riders only seemed to wear their hats in the ring, and most didn't even wear their chin straps at all! I suppose the word to describe this would be...
