She needed her navigator / in-car entertainment!

 

[weevil]

I tried, I even tried to persuade Piaffe to take her but she wouldn't

 

[china]

i dont know how this bloke can expect this horse to jump these size fences when he is pootling along!

Took the words out of my mouth

Go Andrew

 

[Puppy]

Darn it!! Couldn't you have just thrown her out in Milton Keynes or something?

 

[Eira]

I really don't like the way this horse jumps

Wierd but effective though

 

[clairel]

Finbar is looking very awkward!

Neither of them seemed to be 'thinking' forward, either - the rider only put his leg on after the horse had hesitated on the bank... Gorgeous horse, though.

I'm rooting for Ben Maher

he's got a couple of chances so fingers x'd luck will be on his side!

 

[Puppy]

LOL! Finbarr is such an odd one!

 

[H's mum]

I wouldn't like his ears in my face!

i saw them trot into the puissance wall at the british open when it was still in sheffield it was in the early rounds but still a massive jump and finbar just got completely underneath it went upwards like a rocket ship then cleared it.

He's not exactly the type to be your first choice for a Derby is he?!

 

[Eira]

Suprising that Alfredo doesn't have that contraption in his mouth now he's not with Ben

He's a lot more on the forehand than he was with Ben imo though...

 

[Dottie]

I love Finbar! He is very unique!

Did look difficult today though

 

[Puppy]

Oh dear, this round has rather fallen apart...
