Woop, come on Toddy!

 

[Chloe_GHE]

TODDY! whoooooooooooooop

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Toddy! Legend

 

[brighteyes]

Bloody yapping dog! Grrrr

Agree, really good riding by Laura Collett, so pleased she had a clear round, wonder if the time pens will be influential by the end of tomorrow?!

Real shame for Nicola Wilson there, they looked great at the Shogun Hollow too and were the first pair brave enough to try the direct route at corners, it did look a heavy hit to his stifle, fingers crossed it's nothing serious.

 

[kirstyhen]

Toddy still looks so fantastic, wish I could ride that in balance no matter what!

Toddy Toddy Toddy! I really wish he'd name a horse 'On your Todd' Would be amazing!

 

[FigJam]

Oh and whoop whoop, go Caroline Powell. Looking forward to seeing Lenamore in action later.

The dogs are really really annoying me!!!

Its really annoying me too. If that were my dog I would have moved further away from the fence (and strangled the dog ).

Bloody yapping dog! Grrrr

just wondering who the poor jockey who is to be chased by the obligatory dog is going to be this year?!

 

[kirstyhen]

Beautiful over the Hollow, looked effortless!

Toddy Toddy Toddy! I really wish he'd name a horse 'On your Todd' Would be amazing!

Snorted cola over keyboard, winner!

 

[Cash]

Woooo go Maaaark

 

[Shrimp]

Toddy was awesome through the hollow!

 

[Katie_B]

So lovely to watch Toddy, he really is a legend

 

[MurphysMinder]

Its such a shame, but as in everyday life, the few irresponsible dog owners will probably spoil it for the rest of us by causing dogs to be banned from such events.

Maybe he doesn't "get it" being an honnary brit

 

[jules89]

Major Milestone looks a lot less green than at burghley last year. making it look like a pn!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Literally flowed over the hollow, he's so engaging to watch!

 

[Supertrooper]

I do think that dogs should be banned! It must be very off putting xx

 

[kirstyhen]

Its really annoying me too. If that were my dog I would have moved further away from the fence (and strangled the dog ).

If it was you, you'd get told you shouldn't take such dangerous dogs out in public

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

I was just admiring his balance

 

[china]

whens the best time to nip out and get an easter egg and icecream! :-0 not right sitting and watching it without chocolate!!

is it just me that gets annoyed when the horses are jumping and there is a dog on the side going bannanas! thats must be abit off putting. :-/

eta- clearly im not the only one who is annoyed by the dogs ;-)

 

[Chloe_GHE]

how tall is MT?... I don't remember him being that tall???...

 

[jules89]

brilliant.

 

[mil1212]

made the direct route through those corners look easy!

 

[AprilBlossom]

I just love how Mark Todd seems to just steer his horse gently and then go with it - he just sets a rhythm and then goes with the horse however it sorts it's striding out


And fair play, showing evyone how the direct route is done
