Bechtolsheimer does Eventing - Result!

[jules89]

Well done that Laura B - 32 dressage on a not easy dressage horse (ok so it was PN and this horse was at the olympics but hey! I don't care!) One down Sj and a clear XC with just a few time pens!

well done that girl!

 

[Halfstep]

I should hope her dressage was good LOL!!! Wouldn't have liked to be in her section. But good for her for giving it a bash. She's fab.

 

[jules89]

and shes so funny on her horse hero videos, seems like a real giggle

 

[Thistle]

She went really slowly XC, Dan Jocelyn went next on a 5 year lod so he could catch her up if any problems.

I felt sorry for her as the commentator kept reminding everyone how she rode in the olympics, though I did PMSL when I overheard a spectator say how dissappointed she was not to see her in full top hat and tails - on the XC!!!!!!!!!!!!! This person was deadly serious.

LOL there is a vid on Horsehero, it is really interesting to watch

http://www.horsehero.com/1180/competition-turnout-and-travel/5747 she was very good XC I must say.

Thanks for the link - Well done Laura!

 

[jules89]

she is such a legend, I was having kittens sj but she was much better XC!

 

[baleofhay]

What a nice video. She seems really nice and down to earth

 

[kerilli]

thanks for the link, i really enjoyed watching that, she comes across as really lovely. i thought as a dressage rider she'd sit bolt upright all the time, but if anything she was a bit too forward with her shoulders, very surprising. really hope she sticks at it... i wonder if Mistral Horjis is a good jumper...

 

[welshchick]

What a lovely video. I hope she continues eventing!

Silence is such a sweet and loyal boy.

What a lovely girl! nice to see her miss at a SJ a time or two and totally stay in balance and her XC looked v easy. Must have been difficult for her to do dressage on a 16hh TB compared to an 18hh WB!

And the recorder quartet playing the William Tell Overture were great too

 

[RosieC]

That was a lovely video, she seemed to be really enjoying herself. Her XC was great.

I agree that the music was a nice touch

 

[Gamebird]

I did think it was very humble of her when the interviewer asked if doing a PN wasn't a bit of a comedown after competing at the Olympics that LB presumed the question was referring to Silence and not herself!

 

[joy]

Fantastic! I really enjoyed that and the 'fairground music'.

 

[jules89]

Lol yeah, but that's what LB seems like, a really genuine person

 

[Bencmm]

she was.... i asked her for an autograph and she seemed really surprised!! i thought shed be more used to that after the olympics! hope she continues eventing!

 

[superstar565]

wow, the XC was good! i think she is more of a XC jumper than SJ!
but good on her!
