Blotted copybook....

[KatB]

Billy Landretti had his first pole on his BE record today...and his first problem XC, tweseldown has alot to answer for!!

Billy black Jack also blotted his!

Not a great day...still unbelievable horses though!!

 

[AutumnRose]

I saw that too!!

That horse has THE most unbelievable record, maybe he lost a shoe or something xc....Still no horse is that perfect, had to happen at some point!

 

[Saf]

The ground for the SJ was very holding and deep in places, might have been the problem, they were going to run the nov jumping in that ring but not now as too cut up

 

[AutumnRose]

Do we know how sarah_jane got on?

ETA-nevermind i just found her

 

[LEC]

It must have been a tough course as lots of 20s.

Nice to see Miners Frolic has not been upset by his Express Eventing experience.

 

[TiaPony]

She got 60 faults xc

very out of character!

 

[kit279]

Aww, just saw my friend came 3rd in the Intermediate! I am soooo chuffed for her, she beat an awful lot of big names as well!

 

[KatB]

Yeah a horse I used to look after had a good placing Intermediate too

not all bad then

 

[madgirl]

Wonder what happened...was BBJ's 1st intermediate too though.
Wonder whe redesigned will start his season...not entered at all yet/

I am sure sarah jane will be on here to tell you all, i saw her, and the incident, but will let her tell you all. As for the showjumping, there were barely any clears as the day went on and the ground got worse and worse it was hideous by the lunchtime.

Well Twelesdown certainly seemed to cause loads of trouble on paper. Mark Todd was eliminated on Gandalf but Matt Ryan must have loved his day! (day dreams about a day like that)

 

[lucretia]

mark todd missed out a jump, i saw that as well he just cantered right past and matt ryan is doubtless out to prove a few points this season!

 

[AutumnRose]

Ah it happens to everyone then, missing a jump and other such silly mistakes!!

I'll bet Matt is on a mission this year, good start to it too!!

 

[Bedlam]

Things like this only serve to encourage the lowly.........

Oops

 

[little_pink_piggies]

BDWP still have matt down as riding for AUS? or is that purely a mistake still?

Probably slightly less annoying than the time he was eliminated at Burghley for missing a flag on the roads and tracks!

 

[Eventerlad15]

Poor Pippa-but it had to happen.

By the looks of things there were lots of problems, ZP also had a few stops and many good others.

 

[jules89]

hehe I was going to comment on results last night but considering my geekness last week with Stilemans I refrained!

MT may have missed out a jump yesterday but apparantly one girl today (poor thing) followed the mistake in the schedule that said that the fence numbers were the wrong colour and therefore jumped the wrong course

she was gutted
