hmm, it still slopes, and i think the horses judge the height from the part beside the flags. plus it's downhill, horses just aren't quite jumping high enough and being really punished for it. it caused a lot of nasty falls last year too, all in the same style as these.

I understand what your saying, but the second mushroom has a difference of about 1ft from the sides to the middle, surely if that was the biggest factor then that one would be the biggest problem. I think the biggest factors are tired horses going downhill with a pretty poor take off.
Although I agree I hate those mushrooms, most horses find them confusing.

 

[skye123]

zara off at mushrooms!

 

[Emma123]

Another one down at the mushrooms...

 

[librauk]

[carys220]

[nic85]

OMG!! Not another at the bloody mushrooms!!! Poor Zara!!

 

[Gucci_b]

O NO... the bloody mushrooms again..... poor Z.P

 

[Halfstep]

[****] Zara doesn't look too good on that fall. Nasty.

Can anyone tell me what happened to Shaabrak - missed it while in the shower.

 

[kerilli]

RIGHT, those effing effing mushrooms should be BANNED. another one doesn't get quite high enough and has a horrific fall. poor Zara.

 

[jules89]

that fence should be out. no question ne more. BE does not need those statistics marring the sport

 

[B_2_B]

Yes, noone has jumped it great, so take the damn thing out!

 

[kerilli]

Shaabrak did the same at Moonfleet and FC, didn't lock on to rail out of Capability's Cutting.

 

[jules89]

[Eventerlad15]

Trow the mushrooms away, everyone goes so well untill then, but then have their chances ruined

 

[jules89]

SKYE - your horse in the sig looks like ANs lord killihurst!

 

[Emma123]

Lucy had a stop at some rails and then retired..Shabrack didn't really look to get into his stride..sticky through 1st part of the course.

 

[HarrieC]

shabraak ran out at the second part of capabilities, so lucy retired! Poor zara and ardfield magic star!

 

[carys220]

I think the mushrooms will go.

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Didn't lock on to rail out of Capability's Cutting - Retired after it.
