Burghley XC thread...

[kerilli]

I HATE these f***ing mushrooms.

the horses focus left and right, because their eyes are on the sides of their heads, so they measure the height at the sides. fine with most fences, not with one where the middle's by far the highest point. "ball" fences and those mushrooms really punish horses, esp tired horses.

poor lad, he didn't deserve that nasty fall any more than L'Aristo Du Lado did.

Grrrrr hope they ban those 'shrooms before they kill someone or some poor horse. they are a horse-tricker.

Why aint they showing replays? Its like you blink and you miss it.

 

[Flame_]

Those mushrooms are a bad fence.

 

[lucym]

it really annoys me that alice is so formal about WFP, we know shes married to him and we know who he is, so why not just william. the commentators talk about other riders in an informal way, so why not with WFP

 

[only_me]

yeah, and they werent really respecting the fence by coming in a bit too fast

 

[_April_]

That is a nasty big fence that RE just retired at.

 

[Gucci_b]

how many falls is that at the mushrooms now??

 

[Halfstep]

NO!!! Why can't Ruth finish a 4*??? Arrgghhh.

 

[carys220]

Now 45 mins behind.

 

[kerilli]

only 2 falls at the mushroom so far this year, at least 2 or more last year.

I was thinking that, wonder if they will have them in the SJ.

 

[kerilli]

poor Ruth, real shame. that's a proper fence, you either get it right or get nowhere.

 

[kerilli]

hmm, Moonfleet a bit low-flying at that one.

 

[only_me]

[jules89]

[B_2_B]

oh what a shame

 

[kerilli]

oh dear, same as he did on Darien Powers that time, "sat like a prat" and the horse didn't realise it was supposed to jump the fence. real shame.
