Dani Evans had refusal at the oxer in the water and now has come off at the Vicarage Vee, landed on her feet, both her and horse ok

 

[only_me]

And Dani Evans was riding so slowly that horse stopped at VV, but horse kinda slid into the ditch and she was still on landing side

 

[Fidgety]

**** neither of their hearts were in the V :-(

 

[TheOldTrout]

Dani Evans fell at Vicarage Vee - commentators kept saying she needed to attack the course more and they were proved right.

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Well that was a disaster waiting to happen.

Yep should have gone the slow route

 

[only_me]

Well that was a disaster waiting to happen.

Agreed - surprised she went direct, the way she had been riding assumed would take the long route!

 

[JennBags]

**** neither of their hearts were in the V :-(

Not in the course at all if you ask me,!

Well done Izzy, that was sticky.

 

[sasquatch]

Oli Townend looks like he may catch the rain

 

[Kadastorm]

Come on Izzy and Oliver. Praying they get around safely!

 

[Fidgety]

.

Agree.

 

[Lammy]

Surprised she took the direct route too!

 

[livetoride]

Lovely riding by Izzy

 

[sasquatch]

Good riding by Izzy to chose the long route!

might slow her down, but best decision imo

 

[I.M.N.]

Yep should have gone the slow route

Should have come out fighting or not at all.

 

[WandaMare]

I can't watch!

 

[only_me]

Would she have been in start box when jennette fell? It's close enough to arena so maybe she saw the fall and that affected her riding

 

[Kadastorm]

I can't watch!

I keep closing my eyes over the technical fences. Really hope they all get around safely!

 

[JennBags]

Has Izzy's horse got hind overreach boots on?

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Has her horse got blood on one of its whit hinds?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

He's looking a bit tired though. Come On Izzy

 

[livetoride]

I love Izzy's forward riding style

 

[Lammy]

Oli is really gunning for it, both him and Izzy are looking good

 

[only_me]

Good decision for oli to take long at VV, horse jumped very close to fence!

 

[WandaMare]

So relieved that Oli took the long route at the vicarage vee....

I don't think you get to this level if you're that easily influenced.

 

[teapot]

Izzy's horse definitely got a reddish looking sock

 

[TheOldTrout]

I was thinking something along those lines - she certainly didn't lookl very confident.

 

[only_me]

Looks like blood on izzys horse - could have just overreached

 

[I.M.N.]

Has her horse got blood on one of its whit hinds?

I think you might be right.

 

[only_me]

I don't think you get to this level if you're that easily influenced.

But if you are all pumped up and ready to go out fighting, to see a fall so close & such a bad fall at that could really dampen your enthusiasm quickly and be playing on your mind.
