[monkeybum13]

eek!

 

[lannerch]

And another german hits the deck

 

[Badders]

omg! Thats horrible, such a fast fall, makes me shudder

 

[shortstuff99]

Wow a little fast perhaps?

 

[aregona]

opps!

 

[BeckyD]

And another german hits the deck

He was coming in way too fast! Thank god the horse got up. Hope it's ok

 

[kerilli]

he rode that one like a steeplechase fence though. thrown well clear thank goodness.

 

[Hornby]

German rider deserved to fall, riding dangerously imo, shame poor horse had to suffer a fall too for rider's poor performance

 

[lannerch]

Usually a safer fall when at speed rider gets thrown clear as happened here

 

[lannerch]

What is it with the Germans they don't seem to learn!

 

[kerilli]

the young German girl did a great job, esp going straight at the corner. the older ones ride like nutcases sometimes.

 

[OneInAMillion]

So are the German team out?

ETA: Really like how Dirk Schrade (sp?) rode

 

[kerilli]

nope, Andreas Ostholt was an individual.

 

[OneInAMillion]

thank you

 

[lannerch]

Didn't realise heffers was there

 

[j1ffy]

I just looked at the scores and thought it's looking like an easy course, then came on here to see there have been fallers! Who has fallen? They don't seem to be showing on the scoreboard (I'm looking at the same one as yesterday).

 

[lannerch]

And Good round on a young horse well done heffers

 

[kerilli]

Didn't realise heffers was there

ditto.

a few fallers - first German team rider and Andreas Ostholt just now, both at same let-up fence, someone else fell there too, and 2 falls at 1st corner in arena, both horses sort of banked it or dived into it, 1 was a stride off it. first French team rider fell there. no horses or riders hurt.

The finish girl has purple stirrups! Lol

 

[OneInAMillion]

pink/purple stirrups!

 

[OneInAMillion]

Really like Portersize Just a Jiff

Ground is starting to get really cut up

 

[shortstuff99]

Is it bad that I find the stirrups a little bit awesome?

 

[philamena]

Wow, is that Finnish lady Sanna Siltakorpi riding without gloves?

 

[angelish]

hello

french horse is pushing his luck

 

[j1ffy]

Thanks kerilli and OIAM! heading home now to watch it...

The 4* rider at my old yard always does xc with no gloves too, he reckons he has better grip when the reins are sweaty.

 

[Badders]

Thank you for results feed Laura soon, after Frank Ostholt. Camilla looking super.

 

[kerilli]

the Finnish girl went round with her mobile phone in her pocket, could clearly see its outline just now. that's confidence for you!
