London International Horse Show (Olympia) 2024

[Equi]

Oh my!!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Oh multiple withdrawals

 

[ponynutz]

Barring a major mistake is …..


Things changed as I was typing! I was going to say it’s between Daniel and Philip but now it’s got to be Daniel barring any major mistakes! Unless he too doesn’t come in!

I'm quite liking how many of them are withdrawing when they feel it's the right time


ETA: Ouch for Kingfisher!

 

[Snow Falcon]

Fair play to those not coming forward. Give the horse a positive experience.

 

[Equi]

Well now I have to back Rachel for the sisterhood.

 

[SaddlePsych'D]

C'mon Rachel!

 

[Honey08]

She might be the dark horse here!

 

[Snow Falcon]

Well ridden Rachel

 

[ponynutz]

Yes Rachel!!!

She has a beautifully balanced seat

 

[Equi]

Yeees! Well bloody done.

 

[SaddlePsych'D]

Yeeesss!

 

[Hobo2]

Wow. wow again so pleased for her beautifully ridden.

 

[Honey08]

So do they have joint second or jump off?
Joint second, it says.

 

[Equi]

Wow wow wow Rachel wins outright. Amazing!

 

[shortstuff99]

I'm glad she won as she did jump the wall the best I felt.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Budget cuts for the finale over the last few years

 

[ponynutz]

I agree

 

[Equi]

Oh poop I accidentally clicked something and have lost the feed. I like watching the presentation

I did the same - just refreshed and it came back!

 

[ponynutz]

Did they say she was the youngest to win?

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

I'd far rather a trophy than champagne

Do they keep the rugs?

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Oh ok there is a trophy. A gorgeous one.

Oh not for the winner just the champagne

 

[teapot]

Legenddddd

 

[Snow Falcon]

What a lovely award for Princess Royal.

 

[Equi]

I couldn’t get it back. Hope it’ll be on catch up

Managed to get it. Presentation must be more nerve wracking than the competition! Thank goodness he chilled out for the Princess for a second! also, you can tell Rachel has practiced popping on a rosette by how quickly and masterfully she wrapped it around the bridle.

As a side note how cute was PAs scarf.

When they showed the big screen in the arena, which is running photos of Princess Anne, in a visit to looked like riding for the disabled she was wearing the same coat and scarf. It was absolutely lovely, wasn’t it?

I liked how Princess Anne showed the horses their rosettes particularly the winner. I mean, we’ve all done that haven’t we particularly dressage when you’ve just collected it and your horse really obviously wants to see what he’s just won

I think you guys had a glitch in the afternoon because we had a powecut at the excel! Felt awful for the guy that was mid-round and everything cut out and go pitch black!

Was he okay and able to restart his round or continue with no penalties ?

The rider had to leave the area but he had done really well by what the Horse and hound website said but he was told to leave when the power came back on

That hardly seems fair
