Badminton XC Thread :)

To be fair, Tim is a nice guy and a great rider, he'll have been a bit cross at himself coming off but that horse will get a big pat and he'll be kicking himself. Buck Davidson made me cringe the whole way round, flopping about and sitting on the cantle for half of it. Looks in no way fit enough himself to he helping his horse out.

Mum kept saying he looked like a sack of spuds and should just give up before he tumbles off sideways 😝

Felt sorry for the horse

Gemma Tattersall clear inside the time - about 4 seconds inside.

Gemma Tattersall had a fab round, horse still looked full of running coming to the last, v impressive

 

[spacefaer]

Thought the commentators were being very (tactfully)rude about Buck - Tina saying she didn't think he was fit enough. He looked pretty chunky and loose in the saddle for someone of his experience.

Gutted for Emily - never seen her ride before but was seriously impressed at her. Will look forward to seeing her next year.

was hoping Lucy wouldn't try and jump VV but glad to see them both up.

Buck - horrific to watch and glad he finally pulled up!

Gemma Tatterstall - brilliant, what a great horse.

Hope Jeanette gets round too!
