That half coffin really isn't jumping well today is it

 

[Rachel_M]

Alot are backing off once they see the ditch and landing on top of it.

 

[Rachel_M]

Come on Andy!

Have to say it - I hate how fast he pushes his young horses! This horse is v young and his ride in the highclere AI was only 6 and already had 57 points! It's a topic close to my heart I must admit but i just cannot stand young horses being rushed

 

[MistletoeMegan]

Mushrooms again!!

 

[Rachel_M]

Nearly another casulty of the coffin.


Looks like a the lone horse is wanting to still complete the course!

Didn't Ready Teddy win the Olympics at a young age? I guess some can cope and others need the time to mature?

 

[Rachel_M]

OMG, for a minute there I thought the horse was going to injure his leg badly there.

 

[gloster_image]

This horse looked over faced - but damn quick thinking there by andrew, i'm impressed by how quickly he lept off and helped his horse off the fence - he earned some brownie points! lol

 

[Bossanova]

Oh what a shame, he could have afforded to go long between the last two as well.
Blooming nice horse, going to be a serious horse next year I think

 

[LEC]

Only 6 without time faults a really good result. Only the best got round and speed and jumping paid a roll. PAY ATTENTION HUGH THOMAS!!

Thank you all for the commentary - I've been following it while doing housework. You really tackle the important issues - men in tight jods, Andrew's bum - beats the BBC any day!

What's with Oli? Did he fall off twice? I was at Ballindenisk when he had a nightmare splat (I was at the fence he fell at - thought he was a goner).

Great that they all got around with no accidents. Badminton this year made me very iffy about high-level eventing. Did any of the flag-waving actually happen?

Must go now and poo-pick field - oh my life is so glamourous and exciting!
