Individual Showjumping Final Thread

Just over the time for Miranda Neto so 5 faults from this round, totalling 9 for him.

Ian Millar next for Canada, Captain Canada riding the horse, Star Power, by Quick Star, half bro of Nick's Big Star.
 
A pole at the big oxer in the middle of the water combination - wide fence with horrible water tray under it!

But finishes on those 4, total 8
 
Ian Millar, Canada, Star Power - 4 faults.

C'mon Captain Canada! Another Quick Star horse but I do prefer Big Star. Middle pole of the triple down - horse distracted by the water tray. But aside from that pole, clear and inside the time so total of 8.

Daniel Bluman and Sancha in next.

Little lucky over the Abbey Road fence for Sancho, but clear still and looking very stylish to be fair.

oh no, little clip at the start of that awful water combination, little unlucky. and the last fence, the London fence down too. On time fault so on 9 - total 13.

Still, looking good for Colombia's early efforts in equestrianism!
 
Lovely mare for this Columbian rider . . . they're carrying 4 faults into this round . . . she can't half jump.

Had an unlucky pole - first element of the triple.

Last fence down and a time penalty so that's a total of 13.

Edwina Topps Alexander and the very little Itot du chateau now

Ben Maher up next!

oh no, took the back rail off that big oxer (water combi) there - just didn't make the width.

the last down as well for Itot and Edwina, plus a time fault - 9, total 13.
 
Edwina Tops-Alexander (can't be arsed to type the rest of her name) on Itot du chateau. I really hate the way this woman rides, but I love the horse - he's a little powerhouse.

Middle pole of the triple gone . . . and the last and a time penalty so that's 9 from this round and 4 from this morning so 13.

Right . . . now it's Ben and Tripple X . . . and I don't need to remind you that he's carrying four faults :(.

C'mon Ben - a medal isn't entirely out of the question!

First part of the triple down for Ben ... very impressed he managed to get out of the combination with just the 1 down!

Finished his round on 4 faults.
 
Hardly breathing yet again.

Took off too early for the first element of the triple and took out the top rail . . . how he recovered to jump the other two elements I have no idea. What power and scope. No further faults but what a shame that he's now on 8 :(.

horse massively backed off the first part of that massive combination and took the upright down - but what an amazing, scopey launch from TX to get him over the massive oxer in the middle and over the last part without having them down.

finishes on another 4 so total 8.

He's still absolutely awesome :p
 
Marc Houtzager and Tamino.

Clouted the white horse for one fence down. That's it, and inside the time so 8 total.

He is a very elegant rider.

Going on to the top 10 now. 7 to go then it's Scott !
Yes JFTD, Ben has ridden fantastically and has made history with his and Tripple X's achievements. I remember Ben when he was in 13.2hh's !
