Flags appearing to be optional for Will R

Ouch, poor horse has a cut from that fall, wonder what’s in the bottom of that lake

 

[meandmyself]

Argh, I have a nasty feeling Will isn't going to finish.

It's a bit scrabbly isn't it?

Stones I'd imagine. Poor horse got a proper dunking!

 

[clinkerbuilt]

oh Dubs

 

[teapot]

Almost not surprised at that pin though

 

[meandmyself]

Yasmine's horse is gorgeous!

 

[daffy44]

Relieved he's home safe

 

[Kadastorm]

@meandmyself he really is! Love him!

 

[meandmyself]

@meandmyself he really is! Love him!

He reminds me of Addie from EMD Eventing!

 

[DiNozzo]

Nicola is such a classy woman. I admire her so much. And Tom, because that can't be easy, taking over so a much loved horse

 

[meandmyself]

Lovely job through the lake for Emily King!

 

[DiNozzo]

Valmy reminds me of Tippy, the horse from Horse and Pony circa 2000s Daughter loved him.

Salty next

She really is!

She's incredibly kind and lovely in person too!

Loved Rehy DJ (Piglet) just kept on plugging away and looked so neat and clever all the way. Great to finally see Yas at Badminton too.

 

[IrishMilo]

Emily is a real class act. A much nicer rider than her predecessor

I'd admire Tom more if he'd pulled the horse up after Huntsman's. I don't think we need to be carrying tired experienced horses home these days, especially when they're out of contention with nothing to prove.

It was the opposite to Jack Mantell who started rather 'eek' then grew round the course and finished brilliantly. They'll set off much more smoothly next time at this level.

 

[Kadastorm]

Emily’s round oozed class. She really is a beautiful rider.

 

[ihatework]

Be interesting to see if Dubs jogs tomorrow…..

I would have like to have seen Tom pull him up

 

[daffy44]

The way he finished I also wondered about tomorrow

Full credit to Jack as a first timer who hasn't come up through the ponies/juniors/young riders and has had to sell a lot of horses to get here

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Love Colarado Blue!

 

[Northern Hare]

Colorado Blue

The third Jack in that combination learned about horses through Stepney Bank Stables. Adam Short, Tom's groom, also volunteered and learned his stuff there.

He’s sold 2 of them to me! Including the lovely Toby. Not a horse I gelled with but a nice sweet gelding anyway

 

[St Nicnaclaus]

Salty

 

[Kadastorm]

Salty is a legend

 

[meandmyself]

Ros is on course!

 

[DiNozzo]

These two always look like they're having the best time! Rod makes it look sooo easy
