As excited as Kitty about to be a bridesmaid
The distance at the mirage pond seems better this year, or it could be that be that the ground is better but only one problem there so far!

Nice to see Paul Sims home....lovely round.
Please everyone have a little (or a huge) cheer for Gabriel Cury. He's going at 13:58 and he's just the loveliest young lad. He's only 21 and has only been eventing for 2 years. He did WEG last year and his first ever time cross country was a 3*...he's absolutely fearless but a great little rider...was a showjumper back in Brasil, but well into his eventing now and under the mentorship of Mark Todd.
His mum has flown over to watch and he's got a couple of friends with him, I'll hopefully be there tomorrow for him as well but please, if you are there and reading this...give him a holla as he goes past, it will mean the absolute world to him
Wow, what a story! I didn't think that sort of thing was possible any more with all the FEI horse/rider qualifications. Will keep an eye out for him

Galloping horse in the wrong direction is not good, he's pretty much bolting bless him, just went straight through the barrier Poor Andrew, hope the horse will be ok.

You know a horse isn't easy when he's being taken cross country in a double bridle!

Glad it didn't interrupt Harry Dzenis' round, he's a really nice chap, hope he carries on having a good round.

Euro Prince looks like he could go back to the start and do it all over again!

The actual yard isn't anything to be super-envious about, it's nice but on a working farm so not "smart", but the setting is stunning, and the fields are full of lovely grass. Really calm and relaxing atmosphere.

Could they lock Mike Tucker in a portaloo and let Ian Stark and the guest commentators crack on with it? Wishful thinking...
