It just doesn't make for the same watching as Badders somehow

Felt a bit sad seeing Alexandra even tap that tired horse that was just very honest at that combo!

And unsurprising result- lovely looking horse

Agreed, it didn't seem like he deserved it as it looked like he'd really helped her out rather than having caused the issue being backwards and needing a tap up.
Michen

Yep and he was obviously knackered, hence the stacking at the fence a few more on. I guess she was aiming to wake him up and sharpen him a bit but didn’t look like he had anything left to give.

Oh I missed that I went to get a drink at the wrong moment it would seem!
Eta - there seem to be quite a few that are backwards around this course rather than riding forwards and attacking.

Oh I missed that
It basically just ran out of fuel and didn’t take off properly (I think)- she fell

Not banned under FEI, only BE, for some reason.
I think it’ll cause problems all over from what I’ve seen so far. What I’ve always wondered if why (for the most part) the USA combos never seem as fit as the Europeans?

They had a different coffin jump in the 4 star and it caused carnage. I feel like it should have been in this course.

Blimey the hunt horse (?) behind the first fence looks morbidly obese!!

Hope he's ok, always upsetting to see them injured like that.

Who is the guy commentating with John Kyle - very husky voice but talking a lot of sense.
Come on Pippa!

what happened at badminton? I always thought she was well respected. Her videos come up on my FYP a lot.

he's a former champion but they didn't reintroduce him after the initial handover.

Her horse was absolutely exhausted at the end. Left a leg at last fence and they both fell. She got up and didn’t even really turn around to look at the horse.
Was given a yellow card for abuse quite rightly, it was disgusting.

It would be interesting to see the scoreboard but unfortunately those time penalties might be expensive for Pippa.

Has H & C just died for anyone else?

Pippa showed them how to do it! Finished full of running too.
Interesting the commentator saying he likes to watch the Brits ride XC as they ride shorter and are therefore in better balance.

I'm watching via USEF and VPN and it's coming and going too so not H&C's fault for once!!
