Well ridden Rosie!

 

[Strawbz]

Oh Alice that’s a shame but clearly not their day today. Crikey she was brave to go back for a second turn, I wouldn’t have liked to ride at that fence after having a stop.

I thought the same. Felt a bit queasy that she was carrying on and was very relieved when she retired.

 

[meandmyself]

Glad she retired too! Was looking a bit sticky and Topspin just didn't seem to be feeling it

Rosie looks to be flying

There's a great interview with Zara on the Badminton fb page

 

[meandmyself]

Think we'll see many going straight at 17/18?

Its a tricky question!

I’m not

 

[rosiesowner]

Bloody hell, thank god for frangible fences

 

[meandmyself]

Eep the French rider really hit that!

 

[Strawbz]

Good grief, came back justt o see that crunch at Huntsmans. Nasty collision. Is he carrying on?

 

[Strawbz]

Oh yeah, just saw him take out again Now retired Kan-do.

 

[Kat]

Thank goodness Gaspard retired

 

[rosiesowner]

Sensible Gaspard, safety first good to see him pull up

Just retired at the lake

 

[lannerch]

Sorry I’ve got to say it Kan do can’t

 

[muddybay]

Poor Gaspard he's such a lovely bloke, always giving his support at local events

 

[meandmyself]

Glad they retired

 

[Strawbz]

William Levett retired thankfully. Poor horse really not looking with it today.

 

[Kat]

Now Sarah should give us an idea whether the time is doable, a quick rider on a horse with lots of blood

 

[Strawbz]

Lovely job by Sarah there.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Lovely round by Sarah Ellis so far

 

[lannerch]

Sarah is going so well

 

[Kat]

She's under the time so far too! Could be the fastest

 

[Strawbz]

Beautiful turn there by Sarah. For a second I thought she was going direct.

Ambers echo I’m feeling like your parrot every time I post you have just beaten me to it with almost exactly the same comment

Grantstown Jackson is beautiful. He looks so keen and is just eating the ground up.

I’ll shut up for a bit

It is such a classy round, absolutely textbook

Amazing Sarah

 

[Strawbz]

Wow, that was a Grand National worthy jump. Absolute class from Sarah and Jackson. So well done.
