Same, I was there for that and hearing him call broke my heart.

I sort of don’t think London 52 deserved his score, if didn’t look like an easy round compared to say classic Moët or VK and I bet he wouldn’t have made it inside if it wasn’t for the break. And I’m a huge fan of his!
Still that’s the luck of the draw and it’s been on their side today.

I had to re boot to get the sound back, very odd as I was no where near any controls so it couldn’t have been something I had done. Glad to see Maxine’s horse up and hopefully ok

I was too, it was absolutely dreadful and seeing the grooms, Emily and Mary’s faces ??. That was a very odd event

Yup, agreed. But it is what it is!

Can work the other way though by totally switching horse off after hold

Hicksteads final moments are forever etched in my brain.
Sounds like it’s been a dramatic cross country. Not watched it as didn’t subscribe, but not sure I would have wanted to given all the falls.

It has been stressful viewing at times (I am a bit behind). There are lots of tough tests towards the end of the course, and tiredness/stamina must be an issue.
I don't know exactly what the answer is. But it's interesting that piggy and Tina are saying that it's a huge step up for those doing a first 5*, but also that one day events aren't offering the right kind of early season prep.
Equally though, a lot of those who have had problems are quite experienced riders.
I don't know if the course should be slightly easier per se, but probably made safer in some way?

Is anyone else’s live stream stopping and not restarting? Happening to me every few minutes and I have to restart the whole thing. Been fine until five mins ago.

There was 11 eliminated on course in 2018, 4 in 2019 but more retired.
I don't think it's too bad on balance, statistically.

Yes mines buffering every couple of mins

Yep! Mine has been awful and keeps buffering.
Given that we’ve paid for it, you’d think if it’s an issue with lots of people watching it they’d have made sure that the stream was capable for large numbers

I've dropped the quality of my stream down to 360p (minimum) and it's still buffering but not as badly. I'm guessing loads of people have got home from a morning/afternoon with their horses and are logging on!

Yep! That's the sort of thing that comes back to haunt you when you're trying to go to sleep

I’ve just subscribed as I’ve finished work now and decided I can catch up later. Not impressed with the buffering though!

Is it worth me forking out to watch it later?! Sounds pretty dramatic and quite stressful viewing...

Mines not just buffering. It’s completely dropping out! Takes me a hood minute to restart it again.
And I paid for this. I’m quite cross!
