Badminton thread!

Ah c'mon, these riders do multiple rides in a day all three disciplines all year, I'm sure they could cope with two dressage tests. I'm not arguing it, it's just interesting

But when it comes to XC day they have one ride early on and one ride at the end of the day hence the dressage tests on separate days.

Im still :eek3: :eek3:

Cant believe he fell! Glad they both walked away

Female commentator is Tina Cook

Yesss, of course! Thank you

 

[bananaloaf]

I feel so upset for WFP and Parklane Hawk, they were so close to the finish and that horse is so wonderful

 

[PippiPony]

Fingers crossed Nicola gets away with that corner!

 

[MegaBeast]

That second corner!!!!

 

[armchair_rider]

NW going very well, lovely round for such an inexperienced horse.

 

[MegaBeast]

So pleased for NW

 

[apachediamond]

Lovely round, well done Nicola

 

[PippiPony]

Pleased she got round. Doesn't she look happy.
The trot up tomorrow will be interesting too

 

[armchair_rider]

NW is certainly showing the horse some love - as well she might

Most unimpressed with my 10 minutes power cut!!! Thanks to H&H I know what's going on and gutted that William fell, what fence? Glad they are both OK and what's happening with Nicola?

She was very tight with the red flag on the corner in huntsman so I think it's being investigated

 

[Dunlin]

Thanks Apache, that pesky corner at it again!

And the silver birch fence that dropped

 

[armchair_rider]

WFP fell as second last, unsure as to why

Horse caught a toe on way up afaik and overbalanced

 

[Dunlin]

Thanks Armchair and only_me.

Ohhhh poor Tim! That was a super effort by both horse and rider, so unlucky.

 

[Spot_the_Risk]

Splash down!

 

[MegaBeast]

Poor Tim Price, whatever next?!?!

 

[only_me]

And now tim price out :eek3:

This has been a very dramatic xc day!!

 

[armchair_rider]

Tim Price falls at the Lake meaning Izzy Taylor will be the only person to get two round

 

[armchair_rider]

And now tim price out :eek3:

This has been a very dramatic xc day!!

Yes - and there may yet be showjumping carnage as well

 

[apachediamond]

Love the way the horses seek the next fence out and lock on to it.

Oh and another one in huntsmans!

 

[Dunlin]

Poor Clark, both horses run out of steam. This really does mix things up, what can Andrew Nicholson do?

 

[frostyfingers]

That's both of his horses running out of puff - more fitness work needed possibly?

 

[teapot]

What on earth?!

 

[Hedgewitch13]

Dear lord!

 

[apachediamond]

OMG what an end!

 

[Dunlin]

Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Andrew nicholson on his bum out of the pond! Broke the first rail, left a leg on second and ejected, crikey you couldn't make this up!!
