Trout Hathery I think, just looked down and dropped it with the back legs.

 

[milliepops]

[DiNozzo]

Piggy French is the loveliest rider we've got I think.

[milliepops]

[TPO]

How is Johan still on course?

Allowed to continue to have another oops...

[milliepops]

She can tie with Pippa 😉

they both interview well and are super lovely about their horses.

 

[TPO]

Shame for Jonelle but nice to see some "horse first" thinking

 

[milliepops]

eeesh, a heart in mouth moment there for jonelle.

 

[DiNozzo]

Good role model for the first timers.

 

[HollyWoozle]

Jonelle is a class horsewoman, full respect to her.

 

[Tiddlypom]

Jonelle very wobbly through the Trout Hatchery then wisely retires, some earlier riders should have done the same.

 

[Goldenstar]

I could live with that !

First time I've noticed the fencing around the track; 4 strand instead of the usual rope/string.

To keep people/dogs off the course or something else?

 

[milliepops]

nice explanation from Dan about how he was approaching it.

 

[ihatework]

Super interview by Dan

 

[fankino04]

Really liked Dan in that interview.

Its like electric fencing for deer, i think. when i walked it on thurs i wished theyd turn it on to keep people off the course, there are always selfish numpties on it, even with that fence!

I got there really early on thurs, i was walking up Discovery valley (with my jaw on the floor at the width of the corner!) and a lady was coming towards me with her dog, i was saying hello to the dog and got a cheery hello from the lady. I only twigged afterwards that it was Piggy.

Very sorry to see Zara and Jonelle out, i really liked both horses.

We're currently having our Burghley picnic in the living room. I gave our tickets away last night as we've a very poorly dog and are having a (probably) last weekend of spoiling him.

 

[scats]

Sorry to hear that your dog is poorly Honey x

 

[scats]

The stress of this course has actually given me a headache!

 

[milliepops]

eeeek that must be a horrible feeling, front feet off the drop and the horse still hesitating.

 

[Michen]

Not convinced by Emma getting through rest of course...

 

[scats]

Horrible, horrible fall!

 

[lannerch]

Omg

 

[scats]

So pleased to see Jack up and walking.

 

[milliepops]

Oh that was such a horrible horrible fall.

 

[TPO]

Kind of wish they hadnt shown that fall

 

[Jeni the dragon]

We didn't really need to see that thank you very much.

 

[lannerch]

Think that’s a massive advert for air jackets

 

[daffy44]

Thank goodness to see those two walking away sound from such a horrific fall!
