HOYS puissance

[Marydoll]

Well done Douglas Duffin and Joe Clayton getting joint first at HOYS in the puissance, not a class for the fainthearted, my heart was pounding just watching it, they both rode so well

 

[Javabb94]

They were fab!!

Shame for Tina though! Really wanted her to win!

 

[FanyDuChamp]

They did ride well. But for me the star of the show was Tina's horse, did you see the interview where she said she'd never jumped puissance with that horse and he did really well.
Well done all of the competitors, it take some guts to do that!

was it on tv?

It is only on SKY 4 I think. Sad really should be on terrestrial.

She rode well and her horse did her proud, but I wanted Douglas to win, him being a Scotsman, and he's never won it before, I nearly did a lap of honour round the living room for him when he got over that wall in the last round

I hear it was 2.20m they jumped. How terrifying...

Shame it is only on Sky

 

[snoops1994]

can anyone find it on youtube??

 

[Marydoll]

Oh i hope someone can as it was heart stopping stuff, i did feel for Tina when she came off, she was pretty much bounced out of the saddle on landing the horse seemed to bounce then stop

Yeah, it was a bit gutting for her but at least she was unscathed, as hopefully the horse. He stumbled badly on his hindlegs in amongst the bricks and as she was forward she couldn't recover and went over the shoulder, IIRC. I think it was 2.20m - it was if that's equal to 7'3!

Going to see about a Christmas London trip now as OH seemed to so enjoy watching it - double !
