How? As far as I can tell you still need to subscribe to CMH to watch via USEF.

I have a free fan membership, USEF emailed a fast pass and I was able to link it with my cmh account.
Fan memberships can watch live only whereas paid USEF members can playback video on USEFNetwork

[Supertrooper]

Clear in 11:27!! Go Tom

Phew, been trying to find how he’s done

for Yasmin now

 

[Ample Prosecco]

5.2 time. Was looking at the wrong time!!

 

[Michen]

So proud to be British, our riders are in a league of their own. Especially Tom.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Come on UK!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

I jumped the gun - Yasmin about to start but there is a faller. Looks like course is being held ? (I’m getting live updates but if anyone is actually watching please update!)

 

[Michen]

Yes held.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Yes held.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Underway again. Yasmin out on course x

 

[clinkerbuilt]

oh dear, 20 pens.

 

[Michen]

NO! Urgh. I thought he looked a little flat - feel like he usually looks more buzzy- and I bet that long hold before the start didn’t help. Argh. Absolutely heartbreaking.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Not feeling himself today perhaps, going by the water.

 

[Michen]

Not feeling himself today perhaps, going by the water.

Just gutting for them.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Just gutting for them.

Totally. Hope they get home safe and chill.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

blimey, runout for Tsetserleg

eta - and now retirement.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Disappointed for Tasmin but home safe x

 

[Nicnac]

Ah found you @Ambers Echo. Usually in C&T rather than here. Gutted for Boyd. Thomas is usually such a safe pair of hooves.

 

[clinkerbuilt]

Tell you what, earlier on, Sandra Auffarth on Viamant du Matz was a lovely round to watch. Looks like the horses have lost confidence a bit as the ground has perhaps softened under the rain?

Sorry yes C&T would have made more sense!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

3 fallers in a row

from Eventingnation:
"Breaking Down the Numbers

The 2023 5* track saw a 70.3% completion rate and a 54.1% clear rate. 16.2% (6) of the pairs jumped clear inside the time. Fence 6C a the Park Question was the most influential, with three refusals and one retirement occurring here. Problems were otherwise scattered throughout: the MARS Sustainability Bay pulled a few issues, as did the DEFENDER Head of the Lake and the Normandy Bank. One pair fell at the second hedge of the Normandy Bank: Allie Knowles and Morswood (both are reported to be fine and resting comfortably). Eight pairs opted to pull up on course, and three were eliminated on account of falls (two rider falls and one horse and rider fall). Two horses were diagnosed with soft tissue injuries: Daniela Moguel’s Cecelia was found to be lame after finishing the 4* and is resting comfortably Rood & Riddle, and Jennie Saville’s Stella Artois was pulled up at fence 27 when Jennie felt something was not right under her. The mare was transported off cross country in the horse ambulance and is currently at Hagyard; she was diagnosed with a soft tissue injury to a different leg than the one she had recovered from a previous injury."
