Eventing europeans - who will be on the team?

[lannerch]

According to Claire Balding at Burghley yesterday, red button on Sunday and a full highlight show on Monday.

I'd have WFP, Pippa, Nicola and then struggle with Izzy or Ollie, probably. Izzy.

rb SATURDAY 10:50 am onwards

Report from my son who arrived this afternoon, the show ground looked great, the sun was shining and it was warm enough for him to change into shorts so long may it continue! The only team there so far is the Swiss team.

Team is WFP, Pippa, Kitty and Nicola!

Absolutely gutted for Dani Evans, Sarah Bullimore has taken her place (Tina Cook's De Nevo News is in horsepital, the other two reserves ran at Burghley)

You beat me to it ;-)

Admittedly this is Twitter rumour (but from Andrew Baldock who's an equestrian journo) - he's saying he's hearing the team will be WFP, Nicola Wilson, Kitty King and one other, with Kitty as pathfinder.

He was right then!

Must admit I'm a teensy bit surprised to see Pippa as the other team choice but then I don't know a lot about her horse.

Sandman has some decent 3* results this year, including a win at Chatsworth.

Proper order is: Kitty, Nicola, Pippa, WFP.

Thursday dressage order is here: http://www.rechenstelle.de/2015/blaircastle/blair_01a_sldre_abst.pdf

Chatsworth is 2*, isn't it?

The course looks good. I love the haggis. It reminds me of Bramham somehow.

No it's definately 3*

Definately 3* for Chatsworth.

Can anyone find the Live scores please? the link on the Blair website shows LAST years scores - grr!!

 

[Honey08]

Horse and hound have a link on their Facebook page, I think.

Just in case the link isn't working... go to www.rechenstelle.de and click on the green checkmark for Blair Castle. There will find Individual and Team results.

Sorry, left the *you* out!

Really enjoying watching the dressage - Kitty's test was really lovely, what a lovely horse

 

[Jo_x]

Amazing results from the GB riders so far!

 

[ihatework]

The girls are definitely doing us proud so far!

34.6 for Nicola too :biggrin3:

33.5 for Micheal Jung.

Just home from Blair today - couldn't stay for the last day as working. All I can say is wow. Standard was so high - GB riders did fab, and Germany just incredible. Michael Jung on for another title I think.

However I have a horrid cold. Anyone watching the XC today on the BBC may have noticed that it was torrential... I was out there from 8am to 4pm with no waterproof trousers. Big error.

What a course though - well done Ian stark (who gave me a cheeky wink web doing last fence checks this morning) for creating a tough course that really was a challenge but continued to ride well even under awful conditions (unlike last year's badminton pile up). Sorry the the (many) eliminated riders that we saw and the many we only saw listed on the scoreboards. Best of luck to all for tomorrow and for better weather!!!
