Just wondering what everyone thought of the course, horses and riders today?
There are some really nice horses out there - I particularly liked Aoife Clark's two and the German mare lying in 2nd place was super, as well as that lovely grey mare Roma ML. I thought Ruth Edge was very unlucky as I thought she rode really positively today so a real shame for her not to have gone clear.
Also there are a fair few threads in other parts of the forum about 'whip abuse'. I'm surprised by this as most of the riders I saw were trying to encourage their horses to jump better and help them out rather than punish them. I didn't see anyone hit their horse in a temper and I wouldn't have called it abuse? Am I the only person who thinks that?
