Waffled a lot!
Somebody remind me - which horse are we talking about now - I've got brain ache, was it Cato 60, or Michael Ryan's horse.
Young German rider.

It does, but it's a big horse and they're both fairly inexperienced. They kind of bobbled round but just kept going!

Beckys horse looked lame as she pulled up there.

I think they did fantastically well to get round, a nice workman like round. Just looks v tired after that.

Thank you
. I'm trying to find out what his penalties were, but he's not showing on here - https://www.badminton-horse.co.uk/cross-country- results-2017/ I wonder if there's a similar discussion going on amongst the jury?

Yes, I did, I said that before. Great first run, and a lovely story that it was bought cheap from a hunt yard.

Yes. Did it clobber a fence at some point? I didn't catch much of her round.

He retired on course so they're probably happy they don't have to ponder it too much!

Huh? Never disagreed with anything you said, all I said was it looked knackered!

I didn't think you had disagreed, I'm just babbling.

Yeh going into the lake- It was running on three legs for a few strides. Harry commented about it- said it's like hitting a nerve and it tingling for a few minutes. Possibly more than that then?
Will be interested to see how many withdraw before tomorrow's trot up.

Oh no

Marcio is riding well.
Yes this horse is struggling. Oh god, what a shame! She might as well pulled up.

Looks exhausted coming into the arena
ETA - poor thing. Just nothing left into the tank coming to the last.

Well I'm very sorry for her but it serves her right - the poor horse was knackered, she should have pulled up long ago

I don't know, I just don't like riders walking away from a horse like that. Walk it off, do something

Poor bl00dy horse should have been pulled up before that fall.

TBH, She should have been red flagged imo.

didn't see her pat the horse, always makes me sad when riders don't check their horse after a fall

I did think that that horse should have been pulled up - thought it looked desperately tired and the way it stood after that fall!
She was more annoyed but to not even check your horse - the look of bewilderment on the horses face. Had a lump in my throat just wanted to cuddle the horse

That poor horse looked on the verge of tying up there.

Couldn't agree more, even the commentator (can't remember who) said it was a sight you don't often see these days 'thank goodness'

Agree. Officials should have stopped her at least 3 fences ago.
