Apparently wii Limbo has pulled a muscle in his back rolling in his stable this morning.

 

[DiNozzo]

**fingers crossed for no more cursing**

I really like Will as a rider, despite that mistake

 

[lannerch]

He was lovely to the horse very encouraging even when Coleen has stopped

 

[milliepops]

love the way simply clover was looking round for the next fences there <3

 

[lannerch]

Am missing Andrew Nicholson showing us if the time is possible anyone know why he is not here ?

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Oh poor Hazel!

 

[fetlock]

Christ, those oxers are huge.

 

[milliepops]

argghhhh I hope we don't have lots of mistakes at those horrid white fences

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Caroline Clarke horse has decided it doesn't really fancy it today!

 

[lannerch]

Those maltings really causing problems. You all warned me it was about to happen though

 

[milliepops]

Lol, " the horse is not interested today"

that's one way of putting it.What a pity!

 

[DiNozzo]

I don't remember Joules at the Maltings being a problem last year? Seems to have taken both riders by surprise a little bit.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Massive oxers think people are going to have to kick on into them.

 

[milliepops]

fast forward a bit and catch up

 

[Jeni the dragon]

They've been massive for a few years but don't remember them being as problematic.

 

[DiNozzo]

Love a smiley gallolopy thoroughbred.

 

[Stiff Knees]

Ive had to pause the red button, so I'm a bit behind. But, how amazing is Gemma T, already shouting reassuring words to Arctic Soul before she had even got her breath back after hitting the deck. 😍

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Bit naughty of wills horse! Oops Scotty!

 

[milliepops]

whoops! plenty of problems all over so far this morning.

 

[DiNozzo]

'Oh bollocks' - remembers he's on the BBC... Awkward pause... 'oh, sorry'

 

[humblepie]

Just watching whilst on a late brunch that maltings parallel looks hugely wide. Anyone know the measurements?

 

[fetlock]

It's a beautiful course visually.
After the Euros last week (and particularly detesting that budgie in the water) I appreciate the more natural looking fences all the more.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Well done Nicky Hill! Well over the time n looked a bit hairy at times but she got round

 

[Jeni the dragon]

That was naughty of Wills horse. Jumped the first two bits beautifully then just ignored the third!

Thank you. That is quite wide from someone who did used to show jump quite decent level but now can’t do a cross pole.

they weren't really committed coming into the Maltings and then Gemma had a splat at the corner.

I think the horrible openness makes them look even bigger.
