Great link, thanks! Caught a glimspe of the start of the ditch a second ago on the TV and it is huge isn't it!

 

[LauraBR]

What an honest horse!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nic85]

Well recovered at the lake for Julie Tew!!! Good horse!!

 

[LizzieJ]

And it's full of very smelly ditch water!

 

[only_me]

did anyone see the horses hind leg shiver when she got off?

 

[nic85]

Julie Tew RETIRED!!!

 

[CastleMouse]

Jayne is off...

 

[only_me]

wooo its janye!! she lives near me and i groomed for her for a month!!

go jayne!!

 

[LauraBR]

I think the ground must be a LOT heavier going than it looks

 

[Acolyte]

Julie Tew made the right choice - she does so much with that horse, and he was tired by fence 12

 

[FigJam]

Yeah, it must be pretty soft. So ironic when you think of the fuss last year!

I really like WFP as a commentator.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Think it's riding quite dead and the time is tight, so they are having to push on all the time.

 

[only_me]

what the hell has jayne got on her knee??

 

[LizzieJ]

CMP was saying how tacky the ground is so it's holding rather than letting them run through the mud

Me too actually, it's also lovely to hear him speak so supportively of all the other competitors. I wonder whether doing the commentating bit actually helps him further assess the way the course is riding in preparation from his next ride?

 

[redmerl]

Shiver leg caught my eye too!

 

[FigJam]

It probably does help him get a good look at how others are riding things and how it's all going. He is really supportive of the other riders, but also honest enough to admit why he was watching Sharon Hunt's time so closely!!

 

[LizzieJ]

Well done Georgie

 

[only_me]

my claim to fame is that i have ridden art attack doing hill work and hacking

good round for no.52!! brill riding

 

[LauraBR]

I'm falling in love with her horse... he is absolutely beautiful!

Ooooh second inside the time... I thought she looked as though she was struggling to hold her horse most of the way round...

 

[SilverSkye]

Would assume the shaking leg is muscle fatigue i often get it if i have been running or riding a bike for a long time and pushing myself hard assume ( although i might be wrong ) that horses get the same.

 

[FigJam]

What a great result for Gerogie Davies, she'll be chuffed with that!

Poor James, crowd will be happy to see a swimmer though!
