Badminton XC thread

[measles]

Land Vision is exhausted. Hope he gets home safe

 

[teapot]

Come on Toddy, nice and safely now

 

[mil1212]

feel like there are more very tired looking horses than usual

 

[Supertrooper]

Mmm, not sure if should pull up, I don't know xx

 

[AprilBlossom]

Go Mark go!! Really needs to belt this one home now!

I do wonder how many will fail the trot up tomorrow...been some serious scrappy jumps throughout the day

 

[NinjaPony]

Land Vision a bit tired, but Toddy nursing him home.

 

[jules89]

thanks for a lovely afternoon everyone, very civilised, and luckily no fights

Still think this horse is very tired...

Back off for a stupid drive back to uni now, 2 hours of boredom here I come!!!

 

[Supertrooper]

I take that back, he seemed to pick up a bit xx

 

[Cash]

Found that sticky jump over the log and the effort to get him over the next very uncomfortable viewing.

 

[brighteyes]

Thank Goodness...

 

[Vizslak]

Oh huge sigh of relief to see him home safe

 

[PippiPony]

Very tired!

Will be intersting to see the vetting tomorrow! Some grooms are in for long nights i think!

 

[mollichop]

Another one being pushed into the garage! God help them if it had been any hotter there today - not impressed

 

[amage]

Poor Land Vision...another drunk tired horse!

 

[MurphysMinder]

Right off to do the nags and dogs, have loved this thread. Usually miss xc live when its on a Saturday so this has been a real treat.

Aprilblossom I'm glad he didn't belt the horse home - was tired and needed nursing not chasing.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Well done Toddy!!! I was riding that with him!

 

[rhino]

What a great afternoon, it's been lovely watching it with you all! Can't wait for the show-jumping!

Agree! Though GRR to tomorrow not being a holiday in Scotland, gonna miss the sj

 

[brighteyes]

Jumped straight off him, too.

 

[Cadfael&Coffee]

As he stands he was ok, if the course was a couple minutes longer, in that case he should have pulled up but here I think he was ok to carry on- he wasn't exactly beating the horse over the finish line!!

Good on him for throwing himself straight off

Yep I agree, although there were a couple of moments which like I said made uncomfortable viewing he obviously didn't force him on.

 

[NinjaPony]

Land Vision was very tired, but impressed with how MT nursed him home, he still had his ears pricked, and MT jumped straight off so he could be cooled down.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

It's been a fantastic afternoon girls - thanks for your company! Roll on SJ - I might be watching from behind the sofa tomorrow

 

[Cadfael&Coffee]

Dear god it's close!!

Should be interesting tomorrow!!

 

[teapot]

Lovely afternoon and thanks to the BBC too

That's rubbish!

 

[teagreen]

And people have a go at racing That horse was absolutely knackered, crawled over a fence and what does he do? Gets stuck into it with his whip AND they all have spurs on. I don't have much problem with eventing, but I have a problem with people who shout about how cruel racing is and they're quite happy to watch this.

A lovely afternoon - just gutted we lost power for over an hour so I missed so much Will be interesting to see which horses are withdrawn over night.
