Kentucky 5*

[Ample Prosecco]

Tom up into 2nd x

 

[Ample Prosecco]

How on earth did he go so fast? He made it look easy

At least there were no large riders on horses like last year (not competitors) - well not that I saw.

Insane speed

What happened to Yas?

Looked like rider error to me but maybe I’m being too critical she did not have enough impulsion on the last part of a difficult combination of skinny’s so horse said no. You could see it was going to happen I was clicking at the tele

So many combinations had exactly the same problem, including Kirsty Chabert at I think exactly the same element/point. The horses' impulsion seemed to leak away as they landed over the first element and saw the ditch. The camera position didn't really give a good view, so I wonder whether the ground levels took a few of them by surprise somehow.

We are here as part of David Doel’s groupies . Safe to say everyone was thrilled with his XC performance.
I am loving the Kentucky horse park police horses .

My daughter worked in Kentucky for several years and I went to the Rolex in 2014, had a fabulous time, plus visiting all the studs. I went to WEG in 2018 in S Carolina, which was affected by a hurricane so not the experience it could have been.

This SJ course is a bit too easy isn't it?

[Ample Prosecco]

Clear for Tom. 2nd place. Great result x

 

[shortstuff99]

don't jinx Dubs

Nah it was super easy

 

[RachelFerd]

Well deserved for Tamie though - probably my favourite rider in the sport (and a grandma!!)

 

[SibeliusMB]

Not gonna lie...a little emotional seeing an American on top of our premier five-star for the first time in a very long time. Couldn't be anyone more deserving.

Go Tamie and Lexus!!

And deaf

 

[Hobo2]

It was lovely to see the US win their own event. I did not realise about Tamie being older and deaf . Hope she likes her new Land Rover defender .
Great result for David Doel yes it would have been nice if the SJ had muddled things up a bit but lovely for the horses to have lovely rounds .

MM we were also at Tyron it was a shame to lose the freestyle dressage. But the rest was great though the endurance was also badly affected.
The DD groupies most were here for the first time and have been impressed how well the US puts an event on.

So fabulous to see Tamie and Lexus very well deserved and hooray for a US winner finally again!
Thought Tom did a great job with Dubs, nice to see Nicola's Rose on him.
SJ looked pretty easy but nice for the horses to have a more relaxed 3rd phase.
