I was looking at the results list and saw a lot of very good horses in competitive positions being withdrawn before the XC today, do we know why?
I had a good time at Gatcombe today but have a query:
Did I hear Andrew Nicholson fell at the last? That fence looked relatively straight forward, did something go wrong?
(Sounded like it was a nasty fall as he then didn't ride his next horse, hope he's ok)
The ground we certainly not Hard!! As some others on here have said. The course was being Aerated as we walked it at 8ish. Some withdrew as they have other targets and a few withdraw as not in a winnable position, yes I'm sure a few did because of the ground and we are delighted they did as we jumped up from 36th to finish 6th!
AN had a crunching rotational at the last, he looked a bit concussed and the horse was down and winded for a bit but both looked to be in one piece thankfully
I didn't hear about this- was it the last horse of the day (Sam griffiths)?
