Ben is starting! Not a thoroughbred but another proper happy smiley gallolopy horse.

Reve de Rouet making it look smooth and easy compared to those who have just been!

And distantly related to my 2yo Ludwig second horse is more closely related

I dont know if it's my age, hormones, that's I'm a sap in general or a combination of them all but I get all the feels when I see Willberrys out on course 🥺

My 3yo is a Balou du Rouet so I always cheer those on 😃

yeah, be a shame if so, he did make quite an effort to jump that despite being totally wrong

 

[DiNozzo]

Ben doesn't often look like he's going round a 5*, just hacking round with his best mate. I <3 that!

Me too. I'm welling up at everything; the interviews, seeing them pat their horse, watching them galloping home!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Wizzy suddenly looked knackered.

 

[milliepops]

little diversion there for Ben, whoops

 

[milliepops]

Wizzy suddenly looked knackered.

hopefully just a moment.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Come on Caroline!

 

[AmyMay]

Bolytair Blair is lovely

 

[milliepops]

Sarah's been given the 15 by the looks of things.

 

[DiNozzo]

Oh bugger off and leave her alone Claire!

 

[Honey08]

Yes, its a shame, he went so well, but it was a definite miss, wasnt it.

 

[Honey08]

The cameraman has obviously been asked to get shots of the house!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Ian stark heading to the finish me thinks! Well done Wizzy!

 

[milliepops]

great stuff for Ben

 

[DiNozzo]

Smiley as ever that horse. Super expression on Wizz, and Ben is so lovely too.

 

[ihatework]

Getting a Tb fit for Burghley is tough, but getting a carthorse (albeit a stunning one) round 5* is a masterpiece. Well done Ben!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Rufus looking very cool! Love Evento too!

[Jeni the dragon]

Nice plan change part way round the malting!

Ben has some really cracking horses just now. He won the 4 year old yesterday and he's had a lot of great results this year.
