Can't wait to see Jonelle go but will probably be in bed by then! (In Oz right now )

 

[DiNozzo]

Am I doing my cloth ear thing again or have the egg boxes just been removed from the course??

Sarah Bullimores penalties from there have been removed, not the fences!

 

[Honey08]

David's horse looks tired, not giving much air.

 

[TPO]

Another one 😥

 

[milliepops]

Sarah Bulimore will be pleased!

the right decision I think

That makes much more sense. I'll try to pay more attention to the words 😬

Pretty, pretty grey Feldale Mouse

 

[scats]

Dougs horse will be sore tomorrow.

 

[Honey08]

Another down! That must be 1/3 of the field so far.

 

[lannerch]

Doug Payne caused that far too flat canter

 

[frittSkritt]

Bummer about Doug, horse was just a little too backed off and four-footed it...

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Good luck Imo.

 

[DiNozzo]

Is it just me, or is Claire being very insensitive/cold? I don't normally mind her interviews but she's irritating me today.

 

[lannerch]

Now this will be interesting go Imogen

 

[wishfulthinking]

Thought Sarah's penalties would have stuck

Also I want to see the whole course being ridden not listen to the chat (cleary). BBC are missing loads/not showing it so far

 

[scats]

Oh Mouse!!!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Another poor job being made at the maltings.

 

[milliepops]

Bugger

 

[daffy44]

clever horse (and thank you pin!) to stay on his feet

 

[scats]

The Maltings is causing so much trouble.

 

[Honey08]

Oh no! That grey was going so well until then.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Glad there are a lot of mim clips and frangible pins.
Caroline being very honest.

 

[Honey08]

People are asking for ridiculously long strides at the Maltings for huge fences though...

 

[TPO]

Do you think riders are taking more chances/going off long strides BECAUSE there are frangible pins? ie are the fences no longer being given the respect that they need?

 

[horselady77]

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 🥺

I
I'm glad its not just me,keep filling up at everything and wondering why the stewards dont pull up the horses/riders that look like they are struggling.

 

[milliepops]

super shot through Clarence court there

super shot through Clarence court there

They are flying and making it look easy

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Has anyone heard any more about Francis Whittington?

I don't think it's the knowledge of the pins being there, I wonder if it may just be a touch too long with the striding and with them being such wide fences you have to be really stretched out to make it over.
