Wow echos what I was thinking. I wish I could do that. It really makes me want to be a dressage rider.

 

[librauk]

already to watch hopefully an exciting day, and wishing that all get round safe & well

 

[jules89]

yeah, gives me an incentive to want to look like that!
anyone else not a fan of moonfleet? i know hes goot but im really not a fan..

 

[kerilli]

Mike Tucker's off again, Moonfleet apparently "ran past" the corner in Huntsman's Close at Badders... that would be when the rest of the world watched the horse hit the deck, then. Jeez, how the hell does he keep getting this gig!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I know what you mean - can't put my finger in why though

 

[librauk]

oh !!! see there are 8 withdrawn overnight

 

[jules89]

It's tipping it down here in Leicester I hope it stays dry at burghley.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Thanks Jules

Poor Zara, she's not had the best luck of late

 

[CastleMouse]

The cross-country is going to be even more influential today because of the conditions IMO...

 

[kerilli]

peachesandcream, her horse is called Wulstan Rock On, she's number 78 so going quite late on, really hope she has a great round.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Think you've hit the nail on the head there

 

[jules89]

agreed CM i just hope we dont see any silly riding.
my internet is not liking HHO at the moment apologies if i keep coming and going!

[Equus Leather]

I'm afraid Karin looks outclassed by the rest.

 

[lucym]

massive GOOD LUCK to her
