Wow how bitchy has this got....

I actually feel sorry for Emac, I can't see what was wrong with the original post TBH, it is Emac's views and yes posted on a forum but rather than just becoming a mature debate it has turned into a slanging match with quite a few HHOers ganging up and just ridiculing Emac... Very immature and sad I thought a lot of the people who have joined in were more mature than that...

KatB's post is much more mature and very valid... well said her!!

I didn't go to Cardiff but have seen some Utube footage, IMO it does look like they had too much, and it was too big for the size of the small arena.

I like the idea of it but it definitely needs rethinking, and probably knocked down to a 3* height ..the hickstead version works well so maybe up the height of the SJ and soften the XC element, to make it fit better in the constraints of an arena!

Lastly having seen CAC's fall it is gutting to loose such a special horse and my heart is with Mary and all CAC's connection. He actually did what Zara got away with doing at Badminton on Ardfield magic star... He was a bit off but being a Cavalier he was so brave he just took it on and it didn't come off... I also have a Cavalier..and they all have the reputation for being pretty gun-ho and brave so I think I'm qualified to make that comment!!

At least he was happy and enjoying himself up until the end!!

RIP Cav
 
emac - leaving the other stuff out of this, if you really do want to have a reasonable debate about this please do look at some of the other threads as a number of people have tried to make suggestions/rational observations about the event. But winding people up and patronising the crowd isn't the best way to start such a debate - hence this thread

People contributing to the debate include every level from those who just wanted a good day out to personal friends of the riders involved and people who event to advanced and beyond. So to write off their views as you did was a bit rich to put it mildly.

I can understand why friends/supporters of the Buntines and others involved in the running of EE are rallying to support them at such a time and I sympathise. My only suggestion would be that they would garner more respect and on-going support if they 1) Held their hands up openly and admitted that the day was not a success - which is not to imply it never could be in the future and 2) Didn't hide behind other people to try to get their views across but were brave enough to put their heads above the parapet!

I BLAME JM07!!!!
 
Just to add my two cents worth...
I know 5 people that went. 3 left before Mary and Cavy's tragic accident. 2 immediately following.
They have described the event to me as CARNAGE.
They said that it was tragic and horrific to watch (even before the accident, which they said was inevitable). They said the grand stand was half empty and they had tried to get something to eat in the afternoon and were told they had run out for food!
They also told me that Tara Parma-Tomkinson's horse (not sure how to spell her name) slipped over a number of times (once onto its knees) and she eventually retired because of the slippery surface. Now, before you all crucify me about this - I wasn't there, this is just what they told me.

You have to ask, How Well Was The Event Run Really? (despite what the PR/EMAC people are saying). And lets not forget that all the riders were paid for the appearances and £100k price money is double that for Badminton and for one days work! Are they really likely to say anything bad?

LMFAO Disco - I've not laughed properly at a good thread like this in a long time... "You stupid wo-man!! Can you not se zat zis paw girl as a fish bon stuck in er throooot?"

Fair play to the people who've tried to make serious responses to (Im)emac's hair-removing drivel. I've got some comments from being there on the day myself, but this thread is clearly not the place for them.

This is what is wrong with it, it was written purely to annoy and upset people. It was ridiculed because of the spelling (perhaps unfairly) but really OIL!

"Now for all the small mined people who say it was a bad day. how many of you thought it was a bad day when you where shouting for William or when Oil rode such a great round and showed everyone how it should be done? well done Oil! My guess is you didnt think it was a bad day then. If you did then why didnt you bother staying why didnt you get up and leave?"

And to answer OPs question - lots of people did leave! My son works on an event yard and they had free tickets, he didn't go but his boss did (a pro event rider) and she sat with a course designer (3*) and a course builder. They left when Gandalf broke the corner and it was hollow
