Poor Felicity. I know I'm late but I would've loved for her to have a good run. She's had an awful year.

gubby leach and royal harvest looking really strong why have I never heard of them

When will they ban dogs because of careless owners?

That one nearly got trampled despite being on a lead.

It is a shame for responsible owners but there are too many issues. Not just on xc either, I have seen dog fights in the tradestands and dogs pissing on stock.

 

[Kadastorm]

They do need to ban dogs (except assistance dogs) at these events. One chased a rider in the grassroots 100 earlier in the week.

I’ve not heard of him either. Just looked him up - it’s his first 5*

 

[Ambers Echo]

Gubby is so fast!

 

[lannerch]

What a shame his bloods gone , promising for the future though

 

[Kat]

Oh dear, Gubby's horse looks to have downed tools, what a shame

 

[Ambers Echo]

Oops. Oh dear. Apparently it’s his 2nd visit to Badminton - I obviously didn’t scroll back far enough

 

[Ahrena]

I’ve not heard of him either. Just looked him up - it’s his first 5*

Not Gubby’s - he’s done a few but not on this horse and not for a few years.
He doesn’t have much luck at Badminton though.

I was his working student 12 years ago and was really hoping he would complete!

Gubby has also been to Burghley a few times.

 

[lannerch]

Ouch

 

[teapot]

Gubby's def got 5* experience, he's been toying away for years.

 

[lannerch]

Now how will Emily go

 

[Kadastorm]

Come on Emily, just get around safe and get your completion!

 

[Ambers Echo]

I didn’t scroll back far enough!

 

[Kat]

Gosh after a really good round I thought Jesse Campbell was going to fall at the last

 

[lannerch]

Emily is really riding well

 

[Kat]

Emily looks fast!

 

[Kat]

Now Tim, this could change everything

 

[Michen]

Come on Emily! Feel she so deserved a good result after all the nearly ones with that horse.

 

[lannerch]

Well done Emily

 

[Kat]

Great round from Emily, how lovely! Pleased WFP is still in the lead though, it would be such a tear jerker for him to win

 

[Strawbz]

Excellent ride from Emily.

 

[lannerch]

if anyone makes the time it will be tim

 

[Kadastorm]

Yes Emily! Finally got there!

 

[equinerebel]

Did Emily complete?

 

[lannerch]

Great round from Emily, how lovely! Pleased WFP is still in the lead though, it would be such a tear jerker for him to win

Would love him to win

 

[Strawbz]

Oh gosh, that was close.

 

[Kat]

if anyone makes the time it will be tim

Bloody hell I thought that was Tim!
