It's the Eventing Euros this week

[splashgirl45]

It's a shame they don't do the 5*'s and hoys/ olympia/ hickstead as well as then it would seem more justifiable to do the membership or even a months subscription instead.

You can’t just do a months sun, the contract is a year long so you are committed to paying for 12 months.. they get your money however you do it

 

[teapot]

Tom MC is next!

 

[Honey08]

How are our nearest rivals doing?

 

[TheOldTrout]

Another fall, a French rider this time.

 

[DiNozzo]

2nd one off in the water

 

[TheOldTrout]

And an Italian faller.

Isn't he Italian?

 

[teapot]

How are our nearest rivals doing?

The first two Germans had a number of time faults team wise; individual wise - Kitty's score is 10 points less than the Frenchman in second currently

 

[Surbie]

Isn't he Italian?

Elaine Pen fell too

 

[Squeak]

They have all of Hickstead and Windsor and did do Olympia last year.

Plus it does all the World Cups and Nations league etc.

Oooh that does make it more tempting... I'll see how I get on with my 30 day trial. OH isn't that keen on watching too much horse stuff so I'm not sure if I can justify it but it is nice being able to see the competitions.

 

[Surbie]

C'mon Tom!

 

[DiNozzo]

Tom's reins have snapped!

ETA: They seem to be back together now! they were definitely loose at the water.

 

[DiNozzo]

And another 11p at the Fischer complex. Poor Tom.

 

[teapot]

Bugger, pin for Tom at the first of the combo where Yas her had run out

 

[Squeak]

Oh no!! At least he'd already had the pin. Fingers crossed for the rest of the brits!

 

[teapot]

Wtf? How, what?

 

[DiNozzo]

And off! What is going on for our riders? It's nearly as bad as Rio!

 

[TheOldTrout]

Isn't he Italian?

One of each. Sacchetti is Italian, Pen is French.

 

[Honey08]

Oooh this is sounding bad.

 

[j1ffy]

What bad luck for Tom! I did like how he immediately loosened Dubs' girth. Such a disappointment for them.

 

[Surbie]

C'mon Tom!

Well I jinxed that then!

 

[DiNozzo]

Oooh this is sounding bad.

Horse and rider all fine, slightly dramatic looking - he seemed to come off the back? But fine.

Yas completed but on 20p plus time for the team.

Tom had a MIMs clip and then a fall. He's an individual.

 

[TheOldTrout]

Is the ground cutting up or something? There seem to be a lot more fallers in the last clump of competitors.

Lucinda was just wondering if the problems have come from fences where the takeoff hasn't had a pad added.

There have been 32 horses through and apparently it's clay so the rain yesterday won't have helped.

ETA Kitty King apparently said it was quite sticky on her run through and she was much earlier.

 

[Tiddlypom]

You can see how deep the footprints are that the horses are leaving behind, but whether its worse now I don't know. It's got to be more cut up by the fences.

Our local soil is clay. I don't envy anyone trying to run a cross-country course on it!

 

[DiNozzo]

I would be surprised if Berry's horse got over that... Did he get over the height of the fence or did the legs go round?

 

[teapot]

Drying, sticky conditions on Bramham like undulations/hills (how it was described in H&H) was never going to be easy.

 

[DiNozzo]

All of Sandra's strength there!
