Badminton XC thread.....

[teapot]

It's Marie Ryan now commentating but yes wish MT would let her finish her sentences

 

[Clare85]

What a shame for Francis

 

[Marydoll]

I'd love to see Francis Whittington do well, such a good horseman.

I know but hes always the bridesmaid and never the bride, always so near yet so far and looks the same today

 

[JennBags]

Beltane queen looks even better than last year!

Is it Tina Cooke commentating? Anyone think there have been a few awkward moments where the other two have spoken over her or completely ignored her comments?

It's Marie Ryan I think, haven't noticed that, they've all started speaking together a few times thought!

 

[fidleyspromise]

Anyone else lost signal or just me?

 

[Jo_x]

I don't think much of Marie Ryan's commentating tbh, she hasn't said much of interest

Poor Francis

Andy Heffernan won't be winning any style prizes but I so hope he goes round clear. Lovely man - always brings the wine round to the volunteers at Somerford

 

[starryeyed]

oh no, poor andrew hoy!!!

 

[Marydoll]

Dear god, Andrew should have a soap on a rope on his saddle today

 

[Lexi_]

Nooooooo, soggy pants twice in one day!!

 

[armchair_rider]

Oh dear poor Andrew. He must be running out of clothes now. I loved the horse's expression when it got up though.

 

[lannerch]

He's getting a lot of swimming practice

Super riding from Pippa

 

[fidleyspromise]

Good recovery from Sam but pity he crossed his tracks.

Anyone know Second Supreme's breeding? Reminds me of a speedier Rocky!

 

[3Beasties]

What a round for Pippa! Not seen her ride with such determination/confidence since her Rolex days!!

He has completely unknown breeding

I thought his horse looked lame behind when lead off later :-(

Yeah, he was leading the horse just after I wrote the above and unfortunately I thought that too

 

[Marydoll]

Agreed, its great watching with fellow enthusiasts, thank you

 

[_GG_]

Agreed...between here and facebook, it has been great to not be watching it alone....even though I am alone.

Looks like Gabriel is in with a real chance at the Glentrool Trophy as well....fingers crossed for tomorrow!

 

[Supertrooper]

So glad that Pippa got round with both boys

 

[fidleyspromise]

It's been a lovely afternoon everyone but I guess I need to hit the books again, ready for exams next week.
Back tomorrow for the Show Jumping

 

[armchair_rider]

Toddy home.

Well it wasn't as interesting as last year but it was probably better for the sport. And tomorrow will be exciting

He's had three of his horses get around clear today if you count Grass Valley.....he's just amazing!
