Badminton XC Thread :)

This is a cracking round by Emily King.

P

PS you have done it again!

I bet she will be sore tomorrow morning, that looked very nasty

 

[Hexx]

Poor girl! She was going so well. Hope horse is OK, he hit that fence hard.

 

[Clare85]

Such a shame after a fabulous round. Good things to come in the future from Miss King though.

 

[Molly'sMama]

was that her mum coming up to her? bless her, such a good round, she looked so sad

 

[Walrus]

Poor Emily, that was looking like such a fantastic round.

 

[mattydog]

Horse looked as if he took a knock too. He looked sore walking away.

 

[ecb89]

I don't think it's fair they are showing her upset

 

[Honey08]

Oh the poor girl, right at the end, what a shame.

 

[AmieeT]

Gutted for Emily- I was so worried when she didn't get up.

 

[spacefaer]

She and the horse looked tired - very flat approach to the 1st element. Horsewas vvery genuine and looked after her all the way round

I was just thinking that.

Poor lass. I missed it, second from last? That's rotten luck

 

[Equine_Dream]

Aw bless her heart she looks so upset glad mum is there with her. She's literally been there done that

 

[Molly'sMama]

might just be showing people who saw the fall that she's up and relatively not injured.

Yes, what a horse. Lucky girl to have that ride, he's lovely. She rode beautifully I thought.

 

[LibbyL]

Gosh that literally made me shed a tear. She rode so beautifully and calmly the whole way round, such horrendous luck. What a genuine horse otherwise though. I hope she's alright tomorrow, such a lovely person on the whole she deserves to have even a fraction of the success her mum did!

 

[JennBags]

Poor Harry D, he's a lovely chap, really wanted him to get a good clear round this year.

 

[ecb89]

She'll be back. She's got an amazing career in front of her

 

[JennBags]

Well screamed Bettina :lol:

 

[Supertrooper]

What a shame for Emily but it won't be her last Badminton and thankfully both got up.

Sounds like the course is causing mayhem. Personally I'd really like Michael J to win, I like him and love Sam and it would be amazing for the sport for the grand slam to be won again.

And I'm super super delighted that Ben Hobday and Mr M got round xx

 

[I.M.N.]

Well screamed Bettina :lol:

I think that would be my technique at the vicarage v too!

 

[teapot]

Wonder if it was a good thing it was in German? Hahaha.

 

[SusieT]

well MJ has two fences in hand and barring sam being lame I think that pretty much hands him the trophy!

 

[LibbyL]

Loving the commentary this year, Harry Meade is so interesting

 

[Tiddlypom]

Keep the comments coming peeps, am following the XC vicariously via HHO whilst stuck spectating a cricket game. First time that I can remember that I haven't been glued to the live action on the telly.
