WFP makes so much sense, nice round for Michael Owen

I absolutely love Comanche, I'm always willing him and James round, fingers firmly crossed

 

[FigJam]

Awww, I love Gin & Juice, fab wee horse.

I also thought PP looked lame when moving a step, but hard to tell with so little movement, fingers crossed he's ok.

It looked like ben might be pulling up??

Yep. the article of his forum was really interesting, just totally obvious yet never seemed to have been said before!?

I wondered that....

Me too, but I think I put a jinx on him! The last time I went to Badminton, literally just arrived and looked at the big screen to see him fall at the water, then went to Gatcombe and the same thing happend! So maybe I won't watch

Hello ive managed to sneak away from easter duties today to come and watch the xc. the ground is very hard and lots of the horses arent putting down at all and i wont be surprised if theres plenty of withdrawals and sore shins tonight. seems like a lovely course though and some great riding.

 

[Supertrooper]

Still going but very slow?!?

 

[kirstyhen]

I think Ben Hobday might be worried about the horse getting away from him!

 

[Vizslak]

whats going on with Ben?

 

[milo'n'molly]

wow, he's been lapped

 

[brighteyes]

Oh no - what is Ben doing?

 

[china]

this horse in an absolute lion!

 

[Lolo]

Does Ben's horse look completely dead on his feet? :/ He's riding really carefully but still...

 

[gingerarab]

Why is ben hobday going so slowly ??

 

[measles]

What is wrong with Bens horse? If he is that tired he should pull up. Or is there something else?

Oh crumbs, you'd best watch out of the corner of your eye Mrs

 

[kirstyhen]

[jules89]

seems to be there's always one that goes really slow - anyone remember Dunager's first go round Burghley?! they also blogged for H&H, seems to be H&H knows how to pick them! haha (Disclaimer, not being rude, just commenting, well chuffed for them to even get there!)

 

[brighteyes]

I so hope he and Joe are OK - he loves the bones of that horse.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Ben's horse looks fine, just getting strong i think.

 

[Mrs B]

Why is ben hobday going so slowly ??

D'you think he's ok? Looked in pain as he finished... (Ben, not horse...)
