Wow nice horse. Wonder if he'll try to jump over the bullfinch!

I'm loving Astier Nicolas' horse, what an honest chap.

He's certainly getting Astier out of some sticky moments!

Yes Astier's horse is coping with this course better than his rider. It doesn't even look lik him, he's usually so smooth, this looks on the verge of needing to pull up!

Astiers horse is such a trier.

Bit concerned about AN. His speech is v slurred and don't think it was as bad before. He's come back so well from injury! Huge respect for him

Andrew Nicholson seems a lot more humble since his accident.

Checking the results again and they've taken off Toddy's faults but apparently Tina had 20 at fence 17.

Did they say he's just recovering from a broken shoulder?

I'm finding Astier's round very uncomfortable to watch.
Yes they did say he'd had a broken shoulder. I guess he had a good dressage so is too in the running to pull up, but the horse seems to have got him out of a mess several times far.

Not slacking multitasking
Yes, so quite poss not quite on his game big striding big jumping horse I just wonder if he has tired because of the big jumping? Def blowing quite hard and going to need some serious iceing before the trot up.

Same
The horse looks tired and he's the only one so far that I can remember hearing breathing so hard.

On the earlier big jumping fences they looked super, but not so smooth on the trickier combinations - and that landing from the corners was horrible

Alistars horse looks a bit lame in front

Astiers horse has helped him massively and has not had a good round. It looks absolutely knackered.

I don't think Nicola presented there, quick thinking!

I have a feeling we won't see that jumping tomorrow.

Ooh will that count as a run out for Nicola? I don't think she presented.
Let's hope Annie has her helpful hat on, she didn't in the dressage.
Annie said no at the lake. She can do that, this mare. She's either superb or throws the towel in. Poor Nicola.

So strange, I read this and thought 'what?' and then it happened on TV- think I'm a few seconds behind somehow!

Oh I'm surprised by Annie Clover there. Thought she was a bolder horse than that.
