[Ezme]

Acctually... I'm going to shut HHO every times theres something good on I always miss the big bits because i'm looking at the screen! L8ers all!

 

[Puppy]

After that I'm not sure that I agree with the comment that Jessie Drey is a "stylish rider"

 

[clairel]

Anyone know the height roughly of the speed derby?

 

[annret]

I find it so frustrating to watch equestrian sports sometimes as the most balanced/tidy riders are never the ones with the best times...argh!!!

eta - OOPS spoke too soon! ahaha! reverse psychology obviously working there! reinstated my faith.

 

[djlynwood]

Im watching it for the first time.

I thoughtg you had to lean back going downhill but the riders all seem to lean forwards going down

 

[Puppy]

Now THIS is a stylish round!

 

[SilverSkye]

tend to agree she was a bit handy ( although i shouldnt comment as you would never get me jumping off that bank!!)

 

[clairel]

Trevor Breen jumped an amazing round! No flapping or kicking just great riding!

 

[H's mum]

I am - I'm a nervous wreck and it's not even started yet!

I am watching. Totally forgot it was on this weekend so am happy to have a good excuse to spend the afternoon lazing on the sofa.

 

[clairel]

Yep

just had to change my post! It's just ebcause I was sitting there thinking how beautiful his riding was and how I was sure he wouldn't get the credit he deserved for it...

Only time it's nice to be proved wrong!
