Individual Showjumping Final Thread

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're back . . . clean, pink, glowing and fed (probably TMI). Scott goes third to last and Nick goes last . . . eek!

First in the arena is Cassio Rivetti on Temple Road for Ukraine . . .

P
 
Well ridden that man - one pole down but inside the time . . . Tucker's right this course isn't as technical as the one they rode this morning but the fences are still mahoosive.

Paul Estermann, Switzerland - Castlefield Eclipse. Carrying a score of five.

P
 
Ah the big Cutty Sark upright down for Paul and a time fault, giving a total of 10 faults overall


Rich Fellers and Flexible now for the US.
 
This mare is really trying but she's clarting a few, had a pole down and may not make the time . . . so that's one time penalty which added to his original score is a score of 10.

Next Rich Fellars and Flexible (by Cruising) for the US, carrying a score of 5.

P
 
Flexible Rich Fellers, so much you could do with that I'm sure... I wouldn't mind one myself!

Looking good from the well off man though... And he's CLEAR this round to leave him on 5 overall!
 
Shut up about the ground Andy . . .

McLain is making this look like hard work . . . but he's clear and inside the time.

Simon Delestre for France next, carrying four pens into the round.

P
 
Another pole for Simon at one of the huge oxers too...

Finishes inside the time with 8 to add to his original 4 - total 12 faults.
 
Clarted a pole in the combination - got too close . . . and the middle pole in the triple . . . looks like he's running out of petrol. Inside the time so 8 faults total for him.

P
 
Rodrigo starts on 4 faults and looking good. This is the little horse in the hackamore.

Oh no, poles in the water combination - two parts down - and the Cutty Sark upright - totally running out of petrol

12 jumping, 1 time - 13 this round plus his starting 4 so finishes on 17.
 
Rodrigo Pessoa - Brazil - Rebozo - 4 faults.

Got underneath the London Bus fence but squeaked over it . . . I love how relaxed and soft this horse looks between the fences . . . two poles down in the triple . . . Cutty Sark fence gone . . . so 13 penalties for this round (including one time) so 17 in total.

Alberto Michan for Mexico - Rosalia la Silla - 4 faults.

P
 
oh lucky, little tap on the water combination but still clear for mexico...

And squeaks inside the time for a clear, staying on just those original 4 faults from the last round.
 
Lovely round - lovely mare. Rattled a pole in the middle of the triple but cleared it. Clear and inside the time! Well ridden indeed.

P
 
Pointing at his horse, passing the credit on to her - what a nice chap, quite right too, but lovely to see!
 
Miranda Neto now for Brazil, had one down already, looking a little tired and very lucky in the massive water combination
