Tom is riding a brilliant round

Toledo looks like he’s having the best time of his life!

The jolty coverage is making me feel sick. Not impressed i paid £20 for this

Oh no! Mine is fine - v similar to the old BBC coverage really.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Mine is fab

 

[crazyandme]

No!!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Oh no

 

[DiNozzo]

Toledo is still pleased! Jaunty little trot away!

 

[Lexi_]

Noooooo!!!

Very glad to see them both on their feet but god, that was far too bold and fast!

 

[sasquatch]

Oh my gosh! Sickening. Hope they’re both okay

Joseph’s ridden that horse very sympathetically. It never looked like it was full of beans at any point.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

He was flying but that bounce obviously needs a much shorter, bouncier canter. Such a pity.

 

[DiNozzo]

Joseph's horse is very sweet isn't he?

 

[DiNozzo]

A lot of them seem to be over time quite early on course

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Go Nicola!! I’ve had lessons with her and she is just the loveliest person

definitely! Think Toledo was a bit too enthusiastic.

No shade on the two that have finished so far but I think we need a few finishers from the higher end of the leaderboard before we’ll know. These next three should stand a decent chance of being clear and fast though!

Lovely ridden by William, looks like that’s going to be a very tricky fence for a lot of the more enthusiastic and bigger striding horses coming down the bank

 

[Patterdale]

That was not nice to see! Hopefully no one else will do that at the bounce. Horse had no chance, rider is only human though and you can still make mistakes at that level

JL Dublin is the most enthusiastic looking horse. I love him!

 

[sasquatch]

What colour is Oratorio? He doesn’t look dark enough to be black, is he just a dark liver chestnut?

 

[Lexi_]

No!!!!!

 

[sasquatch]

Oh my gosh Nicola. That looks horrific and I really hope she’s okay.

 

[Michen]

Oh god Nicola looked like she’s been knocked out

 

[DirectorFury]

Jesus christ that was bad

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Oh no no no ????

 

[crazyandme]

Jesus this isn't boding well considering the caliber of the riders coming off

 

[Haphazardhacker]

Oh god that looked horrendous

 

[fetlock]

Only just seen the Tom fall as my Dad turned up (grrrr). Gutted for him. Hope the horse is ok - he's just sublime.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

I feel sick

Oh blimey Oli! Would like to see a replay on that…
