Badminton XC!

[Wishfilly]

Hi all, hope it's ok if I join in! It's the first year in a while I haven't been working on a Saturday, so enjoying watching Badminton live!

Some great rounds so far but I'm definitely hoping for Ollie to get the grand slam!

No - I must have missed a bit there what happened? - what has happened to that famous brush fence Capability's cutting

Wrong event - that's at Burghley.

I wonder how easy he's finding it to sleep in his lorry after his first ride

 

[Experienced equestri]

yes s o would I . most of the time its always the aussies who win everything

 

[milliepops]

I wonder how easy he's finding it to sleep in his lorry after his first ride

I'm seriously impressed by anyone who can sleep on demand

 

[teapot]

Odd that they're updating results after the French horse was meant to have run.

I can't sleep at night when I'm not about to ride around a terrifying course for potentially rather a lot of money... If he can pop off for a sleep in between high octane rides, with this level of pressure, I suspect he's not really human!

 

[Experienced equestri]

I agree hes brilliant

You could be onto something there... I'm the same, if I wake up then it takes me ages to drop off again even when the most exciting thing I have to look forward to is a trip to the supermarket

I wonder have they withdrawn and it's not been updated?

Eventing Nation seems to have a good twitter stream, and no mention of them starting/finishing there. Odd.

 

[Experienced equestri]

I dont blame you .Danielle Dunn was eliminated at the BHS Table

 

[milliepops]

Oh no!! poor danielle

Wish pippa's horse would loook where he's going

 

[Wishfilly]

I sort of can't believe Ollie's actually sleeping, but I'd hide away for a few hours in his position too!

Poor Dani!

 

[sasquatch]

love Pippa and love Billy Beware

 

[teapot]

Ah finally updated - French horse was withdrawn

 

[Supertrooper]

Go Pippa

I find it hard not to get trapped repeatedly visualising every moment of what I need to do in the supermarket - don't forget the coffee / bread / etc! I can only imagine how much time I'd waste agonising over whether I knew how many strides / where to turn...

 

[sasquatch]

aw no Pippa!

 

[Fragglerock]

Pippa looking untidy and surprised she didn't take the longer route at the lake.

 

[Supertrooper]

aw no Pippa!

Exactly

 

[scats]

aw no Pippa!

Horse totally refused to look and lock onto that.

 

[only_me]

Hmm pippa given a clear, not sure I’d agree with that!


Ets. Now been corrected bu ground jury & given 20pen

I know someone who can nap on the side of the rugby pitch before she's due to go on as a sub, lol. Some people can just sleep anywhere.

 

[Experienced equestri]

Oh sh--t yes so it s apologies for that

Americans are in the lead at the moment according to Ian stark

I'm seriously envious!

Yeah I have no doubt OH could do the same. I'm the complete opposite but it's a good thing to be able to do, for sure!

Nope is michael jung

 

[Wishfilly]

Sad to see Pippa retire but probably the right decision.

 

[sasquatch]

yep, could see it coming sadly
she's retired now too, he looks a big strong thing though.

Veronica and Lauren had a very nice round too.
