The American combo seem to have fair experience too, the horse is 16 and was 14th burghley last year and 8th Kentucky?

anyway things seem to have moved on now!

Well she has some experience then! I wonder why she didn't gather in the knitting and give him some help if she was so determined to get him over the line?
 
Probably a bit early in the event to be asking this, but I wonder what the British selectors are making of these performances.

Flip didn't realise she was that experienced! Definitely didn't look like that! Ah well hopefully she'll be spoken to it and carded, maybe felt better than looked. Wonder why she did nothing to help at last?
Hopefully she'll learn from this, oli certainly has :)

It's interesting stuff isn't it? I think Alex Bragg has been picked for a Nations Cup team soon so he's clearly on their radar anyway, as is Ros Canter.
 
I know Tom quite well, I'm friends with his sister and he teaches in our Pony Club (I've had a few lessons with him) so I'm cheering him on here!!!!

Mike Tucker is talking the most sense he ever has! Must be his swan song.

Haha Lexi, we spoke together!

Haha!! Typical though isn't it? He's been driving me mad for years and then at his last event he starts being good!

I'm so, so sorry for the horse, but I've never been happier to see a rider hit the dirt. Shameful riding :(

Just got in and put TV on to see this poor horse in the last half mile, why was it not stopped ? Absolutely punch drunk before it got into the arena and look at its stance when it came to a halt, I am amazed it did not collapse. Disgusting riding and not something the public should be seeing at any level let alone elite level. Dreadful advert for equine sport.
 
Wow, head on view, Tom's horse has a HUGE deviation in limb flight in his left fore, I wonder how he stays sound at that level?
 
I'm sure that his absence will be very noticeable initially. They need a babbler in there with the knowledgeable ones! Perhaps one of us could do it? Lol.

Tom Jackson may be disappointed, but he's clearly got a long evening career in front of him from that performance.

Tv, please put Grmma back on!!

I think he deserves to be, he did well at Pau last year too so he's clearly consistent. I think Ros Canter might have been on some Nations Cup teams, but I could be wrong. Zara Tindall did really well at Kentucky too, so presumably she's in their sights.
