Nicola is stable and in hospital - latest update.

Nicola Wilson off to hospital for scans but is stable

 

[fetlock]

So Nicola transferred to hospital, and "stable"

This is what slightly worries me about air vests, would Cathal have been able to scoot out the way as he did if he had been wearing a vest?

I think there's probably as many ways air jackets can save you as cause you problems, it just depends on what does actually happen on the day.

Just seen on FB (badminton official page) that Nicola is in hospital but stable and will have precautionary scans. JL Dublin is comfortable apparently.

I can’t get a sense of how fast this course is riding at all. Carjatan looked like he was cruising round but that’s a huge amount of time faults.

That’s a real shame for Mollie.

 

[Michen]

Shame about Mollie. Really like everything I’ve seen from her on social media, lumhulen etc but not the numerous times she struck her horse around this XC. Pressure got the better of her I think.

 

[DiNozzo]

Good job Kitty!!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Woah well rescued!! Clever pony too

 

[Supertrooper]

Who’s in the lead?

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Piggy then Ros

 

[Supertrooper]

Glad to see some news re Nicola & Dubs

 

[clairebearnz]

Who’s in the lead?

Piggy March and Vanir Kamira at the moment

 

[Supertrooper]

Thanks so much

I love Piggy on commentary. So encouraging!

 

[flat3]

I love Piggy in the commentary, riding every fence with Kitty ?

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Yes it’s great!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

She’s try to commentate but is so invested she can’t stop reacting to Kitty’s ride

 

[Ample Prosecco]

She wants her to make the time even though she could beat her ! Very sporting

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

She’s try to commentate but is so invested she can’t stop reacting to Kitty’s ride

You get the impression she’s twitching on the commentators chair, kicking it on!

The older Team GB women really seem like the very best of sportsmanship.

Not that everyone else is a bad sportsman, just they are so classy.

 

[DiNozzo]

I'm desperate for Felicity Collins to have a nice ride.

Mickey's a lovely horse.

I think a big part of it is also watching your friends ride - at the end of the day, that’s essentially what they’re doing!

 

[DirectorFury]

Piggy is adorable doing the commentary!

 

[DiNozzo]

I do love RSH Contend'Or. He's an overgrown pony with a massive horses jump.

 

[DirectorFury]

I'm no great fan of Emily King but she's riding really nicely and having a great round so far!

I agree on this - she’s a talented rider I just really struggle to warm to her

I'm a bit annoyed we saw so much of her. She's not the biggest name on course to warrant that much attention!!

ETA: I didn't want her to fall though...

 

[PipsqueakXy22]

I’m glad Oliver isnt eliminated after all!
