Hickstead on BBC2 in two mins!!

[Wildspirit]

They're not setting a very good example if they dont wear them!

 

[Wildspirit]

Oh unlucky

 

[Dotilas]

Thought she was going to throw herself back on then.
That would have been SO scary

 

[jesterfaerie]

far too fast silly horse, shame it was going very well up until that point.
Didn't Tim's Cloudy Night do the same a few years ago?

 

[redmerl]

Gooooo Geoff!!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Would love for him to win it again this year!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Well stopped such a shame that he didn't jump off but nicley jumped afterwards.
Definatly giving this horse a great first ride around here, despite the faults.

 

[Dotilas]

I was shouting "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" at the tv,
Geoff couldn't fall off!
That would be awful

 

[Wildspirit]

Oh dear

 

[Dotilas]

And that action replay - Geoff's horse actually hit his head on the fence after the bank!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Boo, I was thinking the same.
But the good ol' lad stayed where he was ment to!

Didn't see the replay, was it a hard hit?

 

[Wildspirit]

Good lad!

 

[Wildspirit]

Spoke too soon

 

[Dotilas]

Sure did

I'm always quite disappointed when proffessional riders show distinct lack of stickability

But some of them are amazing

 

[arwenplusone]

Is it me or are all the female riders identical?

 

[jesterfaerie]

I like pros coming off to be honest, makes me feel a bit better about myself.

 

[Dotilas]

It rebounded back, was quite a bang, but didn't knock the poles, hit the post in the middle..
So wasn't too hard I guess..

 

[redmerl]

Now you mention it...

I cant be a SJer, I have brown hair!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Unfortunately, being tall, blonde and skinny (ish!) doesnt make you a showjumper! I wouldnt jump ome of these even with the top pole off!!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Really didn't deserve those two fences, very unlucky.

 

[Wildspirit]

Unlucky knew it would go wrong somewhere

 

[redmerl]

His martingale snapped!

 

[redmerl]

I wouldn't even without top pole.

Maybe without the top 2 poles!!

 

[Wildspirit]

I just wouldnt even go near any of it

Only the top pole? Still very brave of you, never know maybe you will make a showjumper

I would maybe jump the height of the jump on top of the bank. haha.

I'd love to try it - but I'm a brunette
