But if they wore hairnets we wouldn't know who has the longest blonde hair

*shakes head* is this showjumping or a fashion show?

Unlucky on the second fence, not normaly one which is knocked down.

Boyfriend is laughing every time the Dyke is mentioned!

 

[jesterfaerie]

LOL Sunflower!


Phew I thought he was going to end up down the bank, back end first!

 

[moon_drop]

that doesn't look an easy ride!

 

[Irishcobs]

Give boyfriend a slap!
Scary on top of that bank, thought they were coming down sideways at one point.

 

[sunflower]

No way would you ever get me on the top of that bank on a horse - far too scary.

LOL! With some of the new style hats some are wearing you have to wonder

 

[jesterfaerie]

Not the best angle to come to the dyke on.

I think it is more of a fasion show now, Wish old style show jumping would come back!

 

[Dotilas]

He lost the rein contact patting the horse, bless.. Nice at the bank, but he could have held the pat till afterwards, it's one of those "kick myself" momente..

 

[jesterfaerie]

Blummin heck seemed to come down that bank very fast!

 

[sunflower]

That horse pretty much trotted down the bank

 

[sunflower]

Let's see what John W can do...

 

[katherinef]

John Whitaker next..

 

[katherinef]

horse looks keen..

 

[Rachel_M]

Come on John!


Damm 4 at the water!

 

[katherinef]

Fantastic over the Bank!!

 

[sunflower]

Anyone else want to muzzle the dog that barks everytime they come through the dyke...

 

[katherinef]

ah, another one down..

 

[katherinef]

the going is really affecting them you could see the horse skidding on the bank

Yes, Puppy please do be quiet.

 

[moon_drop]

he's never been a good water jumper! unlucky john

 

[katherinef]

Robert Smith - eight already

 

[jesterfaerie]

Argh this site is being SO SLOW!
Shame about John, good to see Lactic jumped the water better this year, but wrapped the rustic fence again and unlike last time it didn't land back in the cup

Hope he has better luck with his next ride.

 

[katherinef]

the dog barked again flipping mutt!

 

[Rachel_M]

Why do people insist on bringing dogs!

 

[jesterfaerie]

The Dyke is having it's normal affect on results this year compared to last year when pratically no-one had it down.

Is it the Derby where you have to be 18 to compete?
As I think the speed derby Ellen won it and she had to give the money back because she wasn't old enough? I cannot remember, just wondering because they have just said Phillippa Dobby is only 17...

 

[sunflower]

how the hell did the horse manage to clear the fence at the bottom of the bank....

 

[jesterfaerie]

He didn't half kick out over that privet haedge.

Ekk scary moment at the bank!
Brilliant that he rode so well and the nedlet tried to come clear over the rails!
Shame about the second refusal.

 

[katherinef]

very well ridden - horse didn't want to go down the bank at all
