Oh dear, Poor Gemma!

 

[jules89]

dont think Gemma was too happy....could hear her shouting!

 

[Supertrooper]

Nasty fall for gemma, looks like all is ok though, just cross xx

 

[teapot]

And there's goes another rider getting stuck in their P2... Not very good advertising that is it?

Hope she and King's Gem are ok!

 

[Nic]

**** poor Gemma, panicked at her P2 there.

[PeanutButterDragon]

Oh dear! Poor Gemma!

 

[superpony]

Think he wears a white Rodney Powell one

 

[Supertrooper]

The mare didn't look like she was enjoying it xx

 

[Lolo]

Ohhh- poor Gemma :/

 

[teapot]

anyone know why shaabrak has been withdrawn?

One would assume ground reasons given he gets sore tootsies easily. Could be wrong?

No idea, but doesn't he have problems with his feet? Maybe the ground was too firm for Lucy to feel comfortable running him.

update : Badminton Horse Trials
German team coach Chris Bartle says that Ingrid is okay. She's hurt her leg, but doctors don't think it's broken.

 

[Supertrooper]

That's what I would think, he's had lots of problems with his feet hasn't he?

 

[brighteyes]

Interesting from Michael Ryan!

 

[kit279]

Shaabrak has been a really nice horse for Lucy and with a less than competitive dressage, maybe they feel it's not worth running him just for the sake of it?

 

[Mondy]

Ooh, does anybody else think that German CALMA SCHELLY is one very nice horse?

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

Why are we not seeing any of louise SKelton

 

[Chloe_GHE]

this big mare is gorgeous

 

[Vizslak]

looking forward to this round, really like Marinas mare

 

[teapot]

Have tweeted Clare Balding too! Interestingly her latest tweet in reply to someone else said that PF was very down about Redesigned hence withdrawing Mirage D'Elle and MK wants to save Apache for another day given his not so good dressage score

 

[Supertrooper]

Glad that IK is ok, looked like the horse may of stood on her knee

I thought his dressage was quite competitive, clear in a good time would put them in the top ten. But didn't know about his feet so that would make sense

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Me! Definitely wouldn't kick out of the field

Isnt social media great!!!!

 

[teapot]

I was SO anti twitter but right now it's so useful!

 

[Supertrooper]

I was just thinking about social media, no having to wait to find out if horses and riders are ok after falls
