Badminton XC Thread :)

[TheSylv007]

Very long pause and lots of shots of the crowd (plus the commentators talking about how risky the sport is) doesn't bode well

 

[sasquatch]

Louise has just been held, Jeanette is sitting up and talking but no update on the horse

Boyd's fall looked nasty, not sure if the horse landed on his legs or not but it looks like as he went down his knees took a lot of the impact. Wish they hadn't shown him lying on the floor when he was obviously sore though. We knew he had fallen, didn't need to zoom in on him.
I've noticed they do it when rugby players are injured and receiving treatment too, and I wish they wouldn't. Of course we know they are down and we are concerned, but if it is a serious injury or if they are in visible pain I'm not sure it's appropriate to then show them receiving treatment after the initial fall/incident.

WHY are the commentary not updating on the horse and rider - they manage it in racing.

 

[Supertrooper]

Says on e-venting twitter page that both are up, hope that's correct and both are ok

 

[only_me]

Getting more worried about the horse especially as they are now commentating on how well the horses are looked after & the vet care they receive is second to none.

Plus the prolonged flower/dog/People shots making me more worried

Ets. Nice to see horse up walking, but doesn't look very comfortable

 

[AML]

I have been told by someone near the fence that the horse is up

 

[typekitty]

PHEW. Shot of Let's Dance on his feet.

 

[3Beasties]

Phew!! He's up!

 

[Madam Min]

Both up!!!

 

[I.M.N.]

Horse up. Doesn't look comfortable. Hopefully nothing too serious.

 

[TheOldTrout]

Let's Dance is back on his feet (back on his hooves?) and Jeanette is going to be checked over.

 

[Charlie007]

Yay horse up but didn't look comfortable to me

 

[WandaMare]

Hurrah at last, Lets Dance is on his feet! thank god, they are both OK

It's probably not fed back to commentary teams as quickly as racing is.

 

[sasquatch]

now showing footage of Let's Dance up on his feet.

Looks a bit sore and stiff, but definitely a good sign if he's walking around.

 

[Clare85]

Camera shots of Let's Dance, looking pretty stiff but up and walking. Thank goodness.

 

[PolarSkye]

Phew - horse up, but looked lame behind - and Jeanette on her way to hospital.

P

 

[Kadastorm]

Good to finally have an update and see the horse up, hope he and Jeanette are ok.

 

[Supertrooper]

Phew at least they are both up and off for checks/treatment. How many more are there to go?

 

[I.M.N.]

6, I think.

 

[sasquatch]

Phew at least they are both up and off for checks/treatment. How many more are there to go?

I think there's about 6 left

Izzy Taylor and OT are still to go for their second rides

 

[WandaMare]

We live not too far away, south of Badminton and we have just had the most horrendous downpour, with thunder and lightening. I really hope the last few get round before this heads their way or that it misses them altogether..

 

[Supertrooper]

Not sure I can cope with much more!!!

 

[TheOldTrout]

Phew at least they are both up and off for checks/treatment. How many more are there to go?

Dani Evans has just started, then there's Izzy Taylor, Oli Townend, Jodie Amos, Christopher Burton, Joseph Murphy.

 

[WandaMare]

Nor me lol my nerves can't take much more

 

[Supertrooper]

I'm not even watching it either, just going by what your saying plus Twitter

 

[only_me]

Izzy Taylor has jumped the quarry well,

Dani Evans is through the dog box water nicely & made that massive parallel look 90cms - but is traveling slowly

Ets. And has now stopped at the open parallel in water, kinda just ground to a halt

 

[TheOldTrout]

Clouds are looking very dark on TV...

 

[Kadastorm]

Worrying me at how slow she is going....

and not surprised at that stop

 

[I.M.N.]

Well that was a disaster waiting to happen.
