Burgundy horse trials on in a min BBC 2

[muffinino]

I actually LOVE Irish Fiddle's starry bum markings! Eep at his erm fall thing - did he acutally come off in the end? Hahaha at that little dog! It just ran through the jump haha

Thye just interviewed Alex at the end and he said he was clinging on for a few strides, didn't say he came off. That's what I call entertainment

A blanket ban on spectators bringing dogs would be much easier to maintain than giving out fines IMO

Yet again, some numpty has lost their dog and it's chasing a horse...

without fail everytime! this grey looks tiny. or is the rider just mahoosive?

 

[B_2_B]

Stupid people with the dog!

there was very good idea in CR, if your dog gets loose and gets on course owner faces a BIG fine (i.e. £1000) which will be donated to charity. Might make a few dog owners think twice. Also apparently owner of above mentioned dog made a joke of it when reclaiming it not realising how serious it could have been. Well done to Hannah (a HHOer as well it should be known ) who coped so well with it chasing her.

On one of the videos, I could hear the announcer on the tannoy say something like ''Please keep your dog on a lead and keep a tight hold of the end of it!''

When will people learn? Probably when someone looses their horse or their life The owners need penalising heavily

 

[Dottie]

There were so many loose and yappy dogs yesterday - good for her for cracking on though - could do without that distraction at the biggest fence on the course

Doesn't bear thinking about what could have happened.

Dogs are nothing but a nusiance at these things - and cant be pleasant for them either!

Well done Hannah, especially at that fence - I felt sick just looking at it when I watched the course walk and Oli stood in it - it was nearly as tall as him and five times as wide!

I would guess a lot of these horses have been hunting and have dogs on the yard, so dogs barking and running behind them don't bother them. However, I'm dreading the day when one runs under the legs of a horse or in front of one just before they jump something like that mahoosive oxer, then there will be a big accident.

I didn't hear anything about an air ambulance? I know a few have fallen, but don't think anyone's been seriously injured?

Could be wrong though.

 

[B_2_B]

Yeah they haven't shown Nicola and Mcfly's XC

 

[teapot]

They haven't shown Nicola Malcolm and her video on the Burghley website doesn't show the fall either and quite rightly too.

Just seen them, how fab My old boss used to wear a pair for scurry driving on a wet day and they certainly helped.

CF just said his eyes water and they stop this - his horses must really shift, lol.

 

[Sanolly]

LOL at Oli T's jumping face!

 

[china]

Thanks B 2 B I thought he meant today (Men)

 

[Umbongo]

Can't believe that dog, I do think some people do not realize that this is not a mere hobby for some riders but is their job and the dog could have ruined their chances of a good round and a placing at best, and could have resulted in a dead dog, injured horse/rider at worst. I do think that dog owner should have had a fine at least.

What happened to Nicola Malcom?

 

[only_me]

WFP is in the lead with Seacookie - had 1 time penalty at the moment

 

[Santa_Claus]
