Jaguar Mail's start time

[KenRehill]

If I'm reading it right, Jaguar is jumping at 7.15pm chinese time, which is 1pm GMT. I know he's French and jumping for Sweden, but some good jingles would be nice.

 

[koeffee]

best of luck!! i know i will be glued to the tele to catch as much jumping as possible today?

 

[MissIndependance]

What time does the jumping start? I'd love to see JM in action so will be looking out for him!

 

[Pinkwellies2]

Is that today, hope its online as at work.
I thought JM was ridden by a french rider so would have checked the french teams times so thanks for this Ken.

 

[nijinsky]

Just watched - oh what a handsome boy.

Wanted to see the replay as didn't quite see the first 4 pen, saw the 2nd 4 pen and the link went off.

Sorry KenRehill, I have to say, I was not impressed by his jumping technique, it looks like he uses height to clear the fences, rather than neatness in the folding of his legs, looked a bit dangly to me.

There were certainly some impressive stallion on show today, a lot that I really liked.

i agree not impressed!!!!

 

[Thistle]

I felt that too. Was a bit dissappointed. Hope he lives up to his hype later in the week.

 

[Ciss]

I was right about my predicton of the Mike tucker commentary. JM hadn't even got the second fence before he emntioned Brit's two babies.

Everything coes to those who wait Ken

 

[southsidestud]

Now Cumano"s a different story he was AWSOME!! i want a Cumano baby but hes semen isnt that good quality and i was told it dosent freeze that well shame hes Class

 

[Bossanova]

I've seen him jump better.
I hope he picks up a bit as the week goes on, today he was just a little flat.

 

[wishfulthinking]

I hope he improves as the week goes on as it was a bit of a disappointing round however wasn't the expression of the alligator fontaine mare just wonderful?

 

[volatis]

I wish I could have seen it, been away showing all day so missed it all.

 

[KenRehill]

Dangly legs or not, he is one of only 77 horses in the world that made it to the Olympics........................

Jalisca Solier (alligator fontaine) is a superb mare, and her daddy has been offered to me for the UK next year...............

Have to agree didn't do bad considering the size of the fences, i saw horses jumping worse!

 

[christine48]

I agree his technique wasn't great today so would possibly use him as an event stallion, but not necessarily as a show jumping sire.
The 2 stallions which I really liked were Cornet Obolensky (only a 9 yr old) and Cumano.

 

[Springs]

Hi Ken,

every one can have a bad day in the office, even the French!

 

[KenRehill]

I'm not sure that the French know what the inside of an office looks like.

Agreed, it is the Olympics after all !!!!!!!!!! However, there were some really impressive stallions jumping, which to be honest made the others look rather plain, and the course, although almost up to height, was not technical at all, so he next few days will really sort them out.

One thing that really started to irritate me was Steve Hadley's comments on what he considered to be the riders from the developing nations!!!!!! He kept comparing them with the European riders and the only good thing he found to say about them was how the horse had helped them out. He did not take into consideration that the 'big boys' as he called them, are more than twice their age, most of the riders from the developing nations are in their early 20's.

Ben Maher rode a superb round, very professional.

[koeffee]

well the canadian horse did it for my hickstead, just my type a little sharp but ultra careful, but i was impressed with russel, arko gets all the glory but russel is equal in my book

 

[AmyMay]

Watched him on the telly yesterday. Beautiful, beautiful animal. You must be extremely proud.

 

[jannau]

I think Jaguar will improve even more on Thursday as he only had one down yesterday.

Impressed by Cumano, but not so much by Cornet Obolensky.

Jalisca Solier is my favorite, she is by the most beautiful stallion, and she's got his eyes and his expression I think.

Thursday will be fun, can't wait..II
