Shame we can’t have a team with just Harry on 4 different horses

So annoying when you see those riding badly somehow get home whereas those doing well fail to do so!

Harry and Ros!Shame we can’t have a team with just Harry on 4 different horses
Though Ros removed herself due to pregnancy and the way this is riding for the Brits I think it was a very good thing she did. Would have hated for her to have a fall

The only ones on the long list who were still in the running were Emily King (fell off at Burghley) and Gemma Stevens (fell off at Hartpury)

I’ve not been able to watch as I’m on holiday. Just catching up with you guys - what the hell has happened today?! Shocked!
I hope they are all ok? I always worry when watching Bubby, considering her spinal injury a few years back.

I think Bubby was chasing the time. No one so far has made it. She went out very very fast.

We should have been making this look easy. I have to say I was one that agreed about Harry not being on team as his dressage scores, to be on a team, are just not good enough he could really do with improving that side but I may have to admit I was wrong for this course

At least it’s no longer a dressage competition which is much better for the sport but it means it’s not such a comfortable watch. Hope all horses and riders are ok.
Course builder, Mark Phillips is definitely going out with a bang not a whimper

I think it's been quite a horse friendly course - mostly just glances off. Everyone appears to be finishing in good heart.

More equipment failure than usual too. Felix Vogg has a dangly boot strap!

All bar 1 were rider falls though. Which is far better than horse falls

I’m not really enjoying today, it’s not as slick as Badminton or Burghley tv, hate the way they change shots and too much time showing the crowd, I’ve only left it on Iplayer so it counts towards viewing figures, will make sure I watch Laura and hope she has a good clear round

Anyone know what the hold was?

Live scoring doesn’t indicate any competitor problems so maybe a fence repair

Maybe a mim clip? DHI Jackpot had both a 15 and an 11 at 22.
(the only way I am making sense of this is by having Eventing Scores up)

I think it due to mending the clip that Vittoria Pannizon took out

If we cut out all the shots of nothing I think we could be done in half the time! I'm watching with a delay but my fast forward is too quick

Interesting to see if London52’s stamina holds up on this testing course. I’m not a fan of his.

The coverage will be by the Fei. The bbc won't have any say over what is shown and are really only able to commentate on what they are seeing on their monitors.
On the abundance of crowd shots, not every fence will have a feed camera so if there aren't any horses at fences where there's a camera then the feed will cut away.
