Burghley XC thread...

[carys220]

Never seen him ride before and he was more concerned with having a tantrum than checking his poor bloody horse!!!

I think my comments where very fair! And I wasn't the only one who said it!

I do not think thats fair at all. He rode very well and was such a good image for the sport at Badminton.

He was going well here, as at Badminton and he had bad luck!

Poor Matt, he deserves a good run, a winning 4* run!

i wouldnt say that was unfair, everyones allowed an opinion, but he did ride fabulously and i agree with u, eventerlad, that he sdeserves a good run at a higher level now (but not winning, sorry!

)

 

[Murphy88]

he probably will need a new hat the force it hit the ground! poor little horse, the way he whickered when he stood up was so sweet.
I've only just started watching, why has zara withdrawn?
anyone see the funny trot up moments on hho news... not suprised tam was in there! bless him!

 

[ladylisa]

Why oh why do i miss the good bits, thanks for the info guys.

 

[jules89]

[jcberry]

went away while all the tent action came back to different comentators! Anyone care to tell me what's going on?! Glad the coverage is a bit better now!!!!

 

[jules89]

zara has withdrawn? didnt she retire on an earlier horse...hope shes ok weve not seen coverage of it (yet)

 

[kerilli]

not my fave at all but he was riding very well up to that point.

Deserves a nicer rider then IMO.

THE TENT HAS GONE!!!!!

 

[Gonetofrance]

??? First thing he did after the hat throw was loosen the girths and the noseband, then patted him and walked away..........good enuff imo......

 

[kerilli]

Oh no, the tent's gone! *goes into mourning*

 

[gloster_image]

I know it was sooo cute!! Love love love that horse
Kerilli - yeh he chucked his hat on the floor and said "F*ck" then proceeded to yank the girth and flash off with a hell of a lot of force.
However until that point like i said i thought he rode fantastically but that outburst has lost my respect

 

[Clodagh]

wheres the tent gone!!

 

[lucym]

lol re the tent!!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

That was my spoiler Jules

I'm not a PD fan so was gutted to see him go ahead of Mary and WFP - feel a bit unsporting though

 

[Skhosu]

anyone know how many have gone and how many are left?

 

[clairel]

zara retired on glenbuck but hasn't w/d other horse

 

[HarrieC]

I LOVE INONOTHING!!!!!!!

[piebaldsparkle]

He yanked the girth up and undid it's reins with some vigour.... the way the stewards reacted is what I would've preferred to see from MW....IMO.

 

[lucym]
