Badminton XC thread.....

Louise hardwood needs some suitable sized horses!

 

[_GG_]

He's off.....Come on Gabriel...just get round safely!!!

 

[Dusty85]

He's done well at the Lake...I didn't realise it was one of Mark Todd's old horses that he was riding.

 

[teapot]

I haven't JB but heard good things!

He's off.....Come on Gabriel...just get round safely!!!

He's riding beautifully!

Im no Badminton rider, but Louise Harwood looks to be getting hauled around the track

*adds Skip On to the list of horses I'd like to pinch for a quick gallop*

 

[Marydoll]

The young Brazilian looking very stylish

 

[armchair_rider]

I love Skip On, so pingy

He's a fabulous little rider. Really quiet and still and horses just seem to love him. He's obviouly very lucky to have Grass Valley, but he can get on pretty much anything and they just want to fly for him. Mind you, he's 5'2" and weighs about 8st so that might be why!!!

 

[Dusty85]

Well done Gabriel!

Ooh yay Tina Cook!

 

[teapot]

Fab ride for the Brazilian.

Come on Hermann :biggrin3:

He looks chuffed to bits with that. Good on him

 

[_GG_]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!

I think there will be a BIG celebration coming up

Dusty85 - did you see Sam and Julia at the finish?

 

[Dusty85]

No!! I missed them!

 

[Lexi_]

I'd quite like to steal portasize just a jiff..

Ooh yes, definitely my size

King Eider would be top of the list, despite the fact I'd look like a pea on a drum.

 

[Dusty85]

I bet they'll be having a big party later!

 

[teapot]

Nooo Tina

 

[Dusty85]

Nooooooooooooooo!!Poor Tina!

 

[_GG_]

I bet they'll be having a big party later!

He won't. He's so focussed, he won't drink at all...for weeks and weeks before an event. He will be celebrating tomorrow night though

 

[_GG_]

Nooooooooooooooo!!Poor Tina!

Love how quick the vets are. Feel so bad for her though.

 

[amage]

Ouch nasty puncture wound for De Novo News

 

[armchair_rider]

Oh poor Tina. I hope they're both ok.

 

[vallin]

Not sure that was beeb friendly language Tina

 

[Marydoll]

That was some ducking, poor Tina, very clear reaction for the lip readers lol

 

[Lexi_]

Did we see any of Aoife Clark's round?

ETA: oh there she is! Could have sworn they just said she'd finished.

 

[Marydoll]

I like aofie, but her xc speed scares me

 

[EquiEquestrian556]

My point exactly though I think P2 also deflates eventually.

My P2 deflates in about 50 seconds/ 1 minute, but starts to deflate after 15 seconds.

 

[Dusty85]

Agree- I think it was her that had that horrid fall at the Stamford station fence at Burghley? Didn't she come hurtling down the hill?
