Badminton XC thread.....

flaming dog's owner needs some kind of harsh punishment. How hard can it be, if you take a dog put it on a lead (with a harness if it can slip it's collar), keep it on it's lead and don't ****** let go!
 
I'd do a blanket ban on dogs - safer and easier all round. I know the Olympics were smaller crowds wise but no one moaned then about not being able to take dogs...

I always wince when people catch the plastic flags.....Does anyone else remember that complete freak accident a few years ago- there was a horse that knocked a flag off but it caught under him as he cantered away and it stabbed him and severed what was probably his femoral artery? Im pretty sure he was put down on course. I just remember seeing a bright red back leg and blood pouring out :(

We were there, it was horrible. They said the horse was taken to a vet hospital but watching I thought it had been put down on course as you could hear the winch on the trailer. There was certainly lots of blood, it was before plastic flags were complusory but they become complusory soon after:

I hate to say it as I'm a take my dog everywhere person, but I agree. It's only a matter of time before an accident is caused.
 
Is it ironic that I'm being a compete couch potato getting a numb bum from sat here doing nothing remotely physical, while watching some of the best athletic performances in our sport? :p

Loads of people moaned about not being able to take dogs! And then lots of comments afterwards about how nice it was...
 
I'm looking forward to seeing Happy Times. He was at the International Eventing Forum this year and seemed such a lovely horse. Christoph Hess kept saying how well named he was as he was so happy!
 
Think joseph murphy was shocked at horse stopping, not like the horse. But not good attempts after though.

But understandable imo as joseph just looked so surprised and probably mind went blank, disappointing :(
 
pmsl at the girl who dropped her chewing gum on the floor, picked it up, inspected it and put it back in... on national TV :D
