Show jumping times are as follows according to Eventing Nation:


First jumping session 122.00 to 12.30 (11-11.30 BST) then the top 25 will jump from 2.00 p.m, or 1pm BST

Thanks for the times - I had to go out yesterday and missed the last hour of eventing so that gives me time for breakfast, catching up and a tack clean before the jumping starts!

I've re-watched Ros's round and I'm more in awe than I was before. I think we're witnessing one of the best xc partnerships of all time. The whole way he looks totally rideable. She never has to pull him around. She never has to kick him. He's always completely straight on his line. He never backs off, apart from when he needs to and he's clever with his feet. And the fact that he finished so full of running that he kept galloping all the way up the hill beyond the finish, when every single other horse had struggled.... And that was him going around in the worst of the ground at the very end of the day. Something really special.

Organisers must have been very happy to see the last finisher be the only one to beat the time.

It was beginning to look like those that went early had the best chance. Also shows how well Sarah Ennis rode; she didn't simply benefit from the ground, she rode the course well.

Was Lucinda correct when she kept saying said the the Mims clips shouldn't be activated when a horse drags its hind legs over the fence?
I think she is saying it is unfair when the mim clip is on a drop fence as experienced cross country horses will often balance themselves when dropping downhill by using their back legs on the fence

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I noticed on the leaderboard each combination has a symbol of a rider's head sort of thing, some have more of this symbol than others, does anyone know what this means?
