Badminton XC thread

Oh no! Nicola. So glad the horse got up. Hope Nicola is on her feet soon.

 

[DirectorFury]

What on earth is going on today?!

 

[sasquatch]

I have no idea how OT stayed on there

 

[Patterdale]

Oh no I’m 5 mins behind. Which fence I’ll look away

 

[fetlock]

That didn't look good for Nicola.

 

[Ambers Echo]

There’s no update but they are not holding the course so hopefully she’s ok

Nicola over the Mars M fence

 

[DirectorFury]

I'm assuming they'd have held the course by now if Nicola Wilson needed ambulance/paramedic attention?

 

[sasquatch]

There’s no update but they are not holding the course so hopefully she’s ok

fingers crossed. Sickening to watch

 

[Patterdale]

Just seen it. Poor Nicola hope she’s ok.

 

[Michen]

I reckon so

 

[sasquatch]

I have no idea how Harry is able to commentate before going xc without being at all nervous

That’s what I’m assuming. They’ll usually try not to hold the course unless essential and the riders are a bit more spaced out at FEI level than your average BE class, but they’d surely have held someone on course by now if they were going to.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt sick seeing that fall of Nicola's. Hopefully she's ok.

I'm not convinced OT will get away with that...his stickability was impressive though.

 

[only_me]

That was a horrible fall for nicola - she was defo unconscious

 

[DiNozzo]

Allstar B is such a relief

 

[Ambers Echo]

That’s reassuring because she was completely motionless. I had awful flashbacks to Jonty

 

[Patterdale]

At least she won’t remember it.

Don’t know how OT sat that, very quick thinking.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Shit. Hold.

 

[Lexi_]

Oh heck, they are holding people. Not good for Nicola ?

 

[Ambers Echo]

They are holding the course ?

 

[j1ffy]

Oh no, course held

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

course now being held, fingers crossed for Nicola

 

[sasquatch]

Looks like there is a course hold, possibly a long one as OT’s dismounted

 

[crazyandme]

OT has actually gotten off. This doesn't seem like it'll be quick ?

 

[Tiddlypom]

Arghh, course hold .

Not enjoying viewing this so far. Toledo's fall punished a fabulous horse.

 

[j1ffy]

I can't remember seeing everyone off their horses at a course hold, not in recent years anyway. This is really worrying

 

[Custard Cream]

Oh god this stop doesn’t bode well.

 

[Ambers Echo]

This is looking really bad. It will obviously be a long hold. It’s just horrific.

 

[only_me]

Shit. Hold.

I’m pretty sure she was knocked out so they’ll be doing full spinal precautions etc. regardless of how she feels, but considering she was rolled on most sensible option

 

[sasquatch]

I'm not convinced OT will get away with that...his stickability was impressive though.

Think he must have got the horse and the stickability from Andrew Nicholson
