[kerilli]

kristi nunnink, who the course was held for, is okay, they've just said.
Alison has a run out at hollow (quarry), unlucky.

 

[Vizslak]

Oh poor Alison

 

[JCWHITE]

Am loving the commentary, would bluddi be acceptable on BBC!!

 

[Katie_B]

So who is this British rider then? I don't recognise the name but he appears to be have done a pretty decent job so far.

ETS. Sorry my question has already been answered!

 

[teapot]

teapot, there's a pic of her i linked to the other day, jumping into water down a big drop, so relaxed, perfect position. v stylish rider.

Shall go search *toddles*

 

[kerilli]

kinell, not a great stride into water but JJ went like a star for him. v nice horse.
missy finishes.

 

[kerilli]

James A was born in UK and went to Oxford i think, but lives in San Fran.

 

[Fletch]

Just looked at fence analysis on Rolex website - what is Fence 13 as it seems to be causing carnage?

 

[NR99]

Just noticed K's tip for FEI TV so have subscribed and here I am *waves*

 

[NR99]

Was just going to say I have never come across Jimmy A?

 

[teapot]

Come on Mary

 

[JCWHITE]

FEI tv, love it

 

[welshchick]

They're saying Fernhill Urco is a bit sticky?

 

[teapot]

am loving the US commentary

 

[kerilli]

jumbo's jet does look like his daddy! got loads of jump too. pretty forgiving sort. Mary's started on Fernhill Urco.

 

[Vizslak]

liking little urco

 

[teapot]

Not sticky per se, just unsure maybe? Mary's given him a peach of a ride as it is his first 4*

 

[kerilli]

argh, JJ just got a bit too rattled and stopped at rail into water.
Mary going well.
i'm loving the commentary as well, reminds me of the t.v. ads for Fosters i think it is, with the two guys giving advice on the phone.

 

[kerilli]

Urco looking a little green but Mary doing a great job, and on time.

 

[welshchick]

Yep, it's Urco's biggest competition to date.

 

[amyneave]

Gosh just looked at results and it seems to be causing lots of problems. There seems to have been a lot of falls!!! Havn't been following, but hope everyone is ok.

 

[kerilli]

Urco makes the forward distance in the hollow/quarry very easily. growing in confidence. lovely at both open corners.

 

[teapot]

Urco's ears - love them!

 

[kerilli]

yes, lots of problems, lots of horse falls unforch, at table in farmyard and at first open corner in partic.
James A finishes.

 

[kerilli]

Mary great through Head of the Lake... ugh, skeweed a bit coming back in, had to work through the 2 ducks.

 

[kerilli]

Urco getting a bit flat over big table but okay. got his ears pricked, galloping on really well.

 

[Vizslak]

mary is giving him a lovely ride

 

[welshchick]

Come on Mary & Urco!

 

[teapot]

Jeez that was a long one *wince* MARY stop it!

 

[kerilli]

Mary sees a total flyer at the big table into farmyard, nervous laughter from commentators!
Jess Phoenix going well, used her voice to get horse to listen!
