Good choice from Richard. Alfie’s clover is a beautiful horse, and I agree with lucinda, Richard is a good example of knowing your horse and when to call it a day before it gets icky to watch

I have to say, I've agreed with everything that LG has said so far. I may need to eat my own words.

No. If they’re going to make people pay they’re going to have to make it perfect.
And it’s not. Fair do’s there’s more fences being shown than I thought but you make people pay and it’s gotta be 100%.
The camera lens issues alone are enough for me to want a partial
refund.
And now they’ve brought in Lucinda!
What a silly thing to say. You have to pay for any access to top level eventing, and it's never perfect.
I don't understand why you want to see every fence when you can't possibly track every horse over ever fence. Compromises have to be made, and I think they've made the better one.
BTV is huge value for money, with loads of content. It's good value for money.

Thanks. How do you know what I’m feeling. Typical on here for someone to have a different option to someone else snd you can’t have a reasoned debate.
I give up. This place is getting as bad as Twitter.
I’m c allowed an opinion as are you. My opinion is that it’s not valid for money at present. Your opinion is opposite to mine. At least be polite when arguing and make your point without ‘ you can’t please some people’ .

After Richard and Susie both retired before their rounds got really dodgy, how good it is to see riders doing that, and how important it is for the optics of the sport, and that Oli should have made that decision for his horse

That he made a mockery of the sport by not pulling up a very tired horse.

Keeping my fingers crossed for Caroline! She's just about to start and I'm too nervous to watch!

Just to compare the cost of BTV versus being there - it would have cost you a minimum of £147 to see every horse and rider dressage/show jumping, and to walk the xc course to see every fence jumped. £20 for 365 days from a non muddy sofa is not even worth arguing about imho

Does anyone know if I can get a subscription now and start it from the beginning? not the same as watching live I know but I'm too late !

I think you can only watch live from now until it's finished, then you get the whole thing to watch back.

Lucinda is brilliant, I don’t get why she’s so hated on here.

Are all these martingales supposed to be so breakaway?

Also worth noting - I just paused to take the dog out, then when I pressed play it went back to live! Won’t do that again!

By heck Nicola Wilson is made of stern stuff.
First commentating on the dressage, and now on the XC itself.
It takes ages for the XC footage to be loaded up ready to watch from the start. Was many hours last year and not til well into the day after - lots of complaints.
