Burghley Cross Country Day....

hahaha. he runs them so hard every time, poor flipping horses. i hope they throw the book at him.

The cancelled runs would surely give riders more time for fitness work at home - if you're not out anywhere, you can get cracking at home.

In the last month plenty of events to enter at a high level. Fittening takes a lot of effort and it is very boring. It is just not being done properly. All the old format riders are fine even Mary King who never has small nippy TBs.

Yes I guess so - fox pitt, nicholsan, fredericks all have nice horses full of fitness and going. I think a few of the others need to learn the importance of having a horse fit for the job underneath you

So nice to see Wexford Lady again

Oh dear - Lenamore is out of contention.

Will be interesting to see how fit his horse is.

What happened to Sarah Cohen?

 

[Bossanova]

Bryony Wilson looks shattered but her horse is seriously impressive

Came out the water a bit flat and looked lucky to scrape over the brush!

 

[LEC]

What a shame - Poor Jeanette she will kick herself for that.

 

[Bossanova]

Oh Jeanette!!
Just a little bit complacent on the turn. She'll be kicking herself!

 

[Butterbean]

She's just had a run out in the arena though

 

[EventingMad]

oops! Poor Jeanette its not been her day has it!

 

[LEC]

Yep, classic place to leave a leg on a tired horse- interesting to see how they compare to last year when they were early on.

 

[LEC]

Not half as many problems last year.

 

[lorenababbit]

bet the peeople who just paid vicky loads of money for that horse are not so happy now, nor its future rider!!
