Burghley XC thread...

they will take notice, because enough of us will sign it, i think. and they are supposed to be taking SAFETY really seriously.
putting horses on the floor is NOT the aim of the sport. that fence is a FAILURE, it's happened before (anyone else remember the Barbour Zip?).

 

[HarrieC]

OMG another one! that was awful!

Here goes Tam!!

Yeh but that was utterly rider error. That horse was knackered and should have long been pulled up before the mushrooms.

[lucretia]

i am completely biased but look at that pony go!

 

[jules89]

again WFP is showing mark phillips how the course was deemed to be jumped

 

[hotellie]

i thought the alternative was at the 2nd mushroom fence?

 

[Murphy3]

A case for pulling up - the horse was out on its feet at Capabilities

 

[Gucci_b]

W.F.P is riding with a neck strap... Do you think he's ready for the mushroom jump!!!!!!!

There is more than one rider on course at a time but BBC is showing each round so obv Zara fell while Anna was earlier on the course!

[kerilli]

true, but a lot of the other fallers weren't.

lovely to see one going round in a snaffle without a martingale. GO TAM.

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

look william is moving his stick from side to side

 

[jules89]

haha he always rides with one
mushroom fence does have a complete alternative weve seen a young rider take it earlier on, one of scotties pupils. olivia haddow i believe/remember

 

[lucretia]

tam often wears a neck strap

he always does! (and if there's anyone who isn't likely to need one, it's him!)

 

[jules89]

hehe my ponies go in snaffles without martingales

 

[jules89]

WHAT ABOUT THE LAST 2 FENCES!?!? bbc u are so very annoying

 

[carys220]

Is it just me or have all of the horses who fell been attempting to jump the side of the mushroom, looking at WFP go perfectly over the middle then made me think!

HAHA BBC!! You idiots!!!!!

 

[librauk]

brilliant through the dreaded mushrooms !!!!

fantastic round !!

 

[piebaldsparkle]

And we can't see Tam fininsh..........WHY?????

 

[Halfstep]

Classy, clever riding.

WFP - we bow before you

 

[Helen71]

The mushrooms are causing a serious problem and i know we are near the end now but i think that option should have been removed earlier in the day, how many chances can there be before someone gets seriously hurt. Indeed some may be due to rider error or tired horses, but then why aren't the officials pulling up the people with dangerous riding or seriously tired horses. I have not enjoyed watching those horse falls, not that anyone would, but it is terrifying.

 

[jules89]

yep. WFP deserves an MBE more so than ZP IMO

*runs and hides from confontation*

 

[lucretia]

this horse is a proper jumper, i did it at a three day once.
