Still only one to finish on their dressage score so far.

MR has had a couple of hairy moments!!!

Nope it says 302 is football and that Sport in video is not available due to technical difficulties (1001)

 

[only_me]

micheal was unlucky to have that run out, horse just stumbled.

 

[FigJam]

Poor Michael Ryan, another run out at the shogun hollow. That's also really causing problems. Will be a real credit to get round clear, and an even bigger achievement within the time!

I guess that's how it should be though at this level though, none of the incidents have been nasty (apart from the crazy riding too fast into drop fences incidents!), just run outs when the accuracy hasn't been spot on, which is what the course is wanting to test the riders and horses on.

[****] another flyer at the Quarry.

 

[only_me]

ohh that was close for emily baldwin... very lucky to stay on!!

 

[nic85]

Another big jump into the Quarry...but is down to inexperience says the comentator!!

 

[LauraBR]

Interesting too that all the riders were specifically warned about it.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Showed her inexperience at the water too.

 

[only_me]

were they? what were they told and who by?

 

[CastleMouse]

Pity that Niall retired

 

[kirstyfk]

Just on my lunch break. Can someone tell me what happened to Clayton?

 

[piebaldsparkle]

CMP said they were warned on the course walk.

 

[only_me]

[piebaldsparkle]

When the commentator commented on Emily's inexperience causing her problems at the Quarry he said that all the riders had been warned re consequences of tackling that jump in the way she did. Not sure he said who by...

 

[kirstyfk]

I wish I could watch it. Was thinking about pulling a sickie but decided against it!

If (like me

) you don't have Freeview, go slightly further on down the page and it says Live: Badminton Horse Trials

 

[wishfulthinking]

another dog almost followed emily, grrr

 

[FigJam]

Nullabor opted out of the Vicarage Vee and Clayton came off. No harm done but called it a day.

Mark Phillips said he'd warned riders about it on the course walk, but that was maybe just riders he was walking with, so not necessarily a big warning given at the riders briefing or similar.

Poor Emily's inexperience is showing through and she's lucky to still be on board after the Shogun Hollow. She'll have been wanting to do so well after her fab dressage score.
