If there’s one horse I’d like to take xc it’s definitely Topspin

If there’s one I wouldn’t want to take it’s Purple Rain haha

 

[Nocturnal]

I wish they'd pronounce Jalapeño right

 

[BallyJ]

It’s nice to still see so many willberry wonder pony’s going round!

I did a search in the app store bit for badminton and it brought it straight up.

 

[DiNozzo]

Not the tidiest from Gemma…

 

[Patterdale]

Jalapeño looks strong.

 

[fetlock]

Rooting for Alice

 

[DiNozzo]

Has Francis finished?

 

[rosiesowner]

Gemma having to ride every stride, but what a wonderful horse she’s sitting on. Love a chestnut mare.

Love alice and topspin too.

 

[DiNozzo]

I like Purple Rain.

 

[sasquatch]

Has Francis finished?

Just cut back to him now, horse looks a bit tired but much better than a lot of them. Definitely wasn’t an easy round for Francis!

 

[sasquatch]

I like Purple Rain.

I like him but not sure I’d be brave enough to ride him!

 

[Parrotperson]

Coverage has shown the following fences: 1, 4a-d, 6a-b, 7, 8a-c, 9, 10a-b, 11, 12a-b, 13a-d, 14, 15a-b, 16, 17, 18, 19a-b, 20, 21a-b, 22, 23, 25a-b, 26, 27b, 28a-b, 29, and 30.

What more would you like?!

Well if I’m paying all 30!!!! Not asking much for my £20.

 

[lannerch]

I hope I’m wrong but too I me purple rain looked lame pulling up

 

[Fools Motto]

on the fence analysis, what does the x mean as there are - = which I'm assuming clear ??

 

[sasquatch]

Topspin looks very tired. Glad to see Alice finish

 

[TheOldTrout]

Has Francis finished?

Yes.
42.8 time penalties, no jumping penalties.

 

[sasquatch]

Wonder if they’ll adjust the time if no one gets round inside it

 

[DiNozzo]

I like the course design this year. Horses and riders not punished for going long and staying safe.

 

[TheOldTrout]

on the fence analysis, what does the x mean as there are - = which I'm assuming clear ??

Good question! It seems to mean the same as - here, as there's some against fences jumped by competitors who've got no jumping penalties.

 

[Nocturnal]

Jalapeño crushed that

 

[DiNozzo]

Felicity Collins next. Hope RHS Contend'or behaves himself!

 

[Patterdale]

Well if I’m paying all 30!!!! Not asking much for my £20.

It’s actually a bloody lot for £20, be realistic.

 

[DiNozzo]

He doesn't seem to be quite as clown-y as he has been

 

[Patterdale]

Oh my days!

 

[rosiesowner]

Gemma pointing out hot and muggy day, it’s hard enough to walk around on a day like that let alone complete a 5* cross country course.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Ouch! That looked a bit sore!

 

[sasquatch]

Ouch ouch ouch, looked very very sore

 

[Nocturnal]

Wow, she'll be gutted with that
