I thought a clear hesitation counted as a stop at a drop or ditch nowadays, you didn't need to step back..?

No penalaties for a hesitation, no matter how long it is, as long as horse doesn't step back. The TD clarified this at a recent BE FJ training day.

BE rules (but assuming FEI are the same, if not more strict) say that for obstacles less than 30cms, any form of sustained or any way prolonged halt in front of a fence constitutes a refusal. Last year's booklet though so might have changed over the winter?

Interesting, I was told on the training course that even 10 seconds stationary was not a stop!

Yes that's what I thought. It used to be just a step back but I thought it changed in the last few years.
Mark Todd thought it might be more than one.

I made it two stops. Fence judging is kinder at lower levels and a clear step back might be expected. At four star there is much less leeway.

under 30cms with prolonged halt (over 10sec I was told) is a stop but if you come to a halt and move sideways then jump it's still a clear, but the moment the horse steps back it is a refusal.
Imo she only stepped back once so think only 20pens

Fence 3 looked huge, stark and uninviting on the course walk.

Think we saw it at the very beginning but presumably no time now there are multiple horses on course. Did it look enormous in real life?

Yes, but I hate tables and my horse hates ditches, so a double sided scary fence for me!

They've put on Facebookthat Emily Gilruth has been airlifted for observation- that sounds more promising.
On a different note- My brother texted me earlier moaning that he's working today. He always ends up Xraying the riders that fall! They have a bit of a meeting about it a they expect a busy day.

Somebody remind me - which horse are we talking about now - I've got brain ache, was it Cato 60, or Michael Ryan's horse

I like Blyth's horse.
