Kentucky SJ Thread!

[MurphysMinder]

Just got in for the last couple of rounds, brilliant result, and so great on a homebred mare,. Someone should tell Mary she should be slowing down at her age

 

[mon]

How wonderful Knighthood for her, she deserves it

 

[Rachntabby]

Yess! Well done Mary

 

[NR99]

So Mary's doubters will be kept at bay, maybe she was right to feel confident of a team place (though I don't think she was overconfident about it).

Fairplay to Yogi too as his decisions have been questioned but he is building real strength and depth within the team.

Finally, well done to the Brits all of their horses finished looking really well after a long journey!

Roll on 2012

 

[OneInAMillion]

Wahooooooooooo! And there were people mocking her for being confident about going to the Olympics. This just proves why she deserves a team place

 

[titch]

I don't think anyone deserves such a result as Mary, so pleased for her. What a fantastic couple of weeks she's had, looking very hopeful to have a spot on the olympic team now!!

 

[kirstyhen]

Feeling rather tearful

 

[teapot]

*hands tissues over* SOB

We love Mary!

 

[kirstyhen]

Eee-quine

 

[Vizslak]

Hahaha, 'I nearly fell off a few times!'' talking about KT's odd sj style!

Yes, worth the poster who said the other day that eventers can not be at the top level at that age, first Mark Todd now Mary

 

[kirstyhen]

*hands tissues over* SOB

We love Mary!

Go MARY!!

Nice shiny watch for her too

 

[Katie_B]

Haha. Kate and Wills ref. in there!

 

[teapot]

Oh yeah and the Rolex watch. Damn that's a good weekend

 

[titch]

'Will and Kate aren't a patch on you this weekend'

LOL!!!

 

[kirstyhen]

Yes, worth the poster who said the other day that eventers can not be at the top level at that age, first Mark Todd now Mary

Or that women with children can't stay at the top (obviously MT doesn't count there though )

 

[Kokopelli]

She is like the goddess of eventing!
Amazing.

 

[welshchick]

Well done to Mary and her lovely horses! What a great weekend!

 

[Blaise]

Joining this thread late in the day and only managed to catch the last 2 rounds on NBC but so, so happy to see Mary King 1st and 2nd. What a result! If she doesn't get a place on the Olympic team it will be a travesty! She is such a role model for the sport of eventing. So pleased for her.

and don't worry teapot- you're not the only one sat here crying

 

[welshchick]

She now has four four-star horses. Brilliant!

 

[teapot]

And WFP and OT both have another one each too!

 

[kirstyhen]

That is one hell of a rossie!!

 

[NR99]

Wow 20th place gets £1500.

Pleased Icarus won the best turned out!

 

[welshchick]

Mary is amazing! I struggle to understand why she's still waiting to get a MBE from the Queen!

 

[kirstyhen]

Wonder what the watch is worth?

 

[teapot]

Wonder what the watch is worth?

Lots. Lots and lots.

 

[NR99]

Mary is amazing! I struggle to understand why she's still waiting to get a MBE from the Queen!

Fair Point

 

[teapot]

Nahh a Knighthood, Dame Mary King has a nice ring to it

 

[NR99]

Ok Mary didn't cry but I did well up when they played the National Anthem

 

[OneInAMillion]

Nahh a Knighthood, Dame Mary King has a nice ring to it

yes it does
