Lucinda Fredericks wins Burghley...

[Oaksflight]

Clear show jumping. Quite upset that Andrew hasn't gone clear, but well deserved still.

 

[CastleMouse]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WHY??!?!?! Andrew deserved the Grand Slam!

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

how do you know?

 

[CastleMouse]

Andrew got 12 faults in the showjumping, it's on the Burghley website

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

ah that sucks!

 

[tw1nn1ejo]

yes but isn't andrew in the lead on moonfleet? on mr pracatan he had some down but i havn't seem him sj on moonfleet yet? unless i missed it.

 

[Jazz1]

[Ferdinase514]

GRRRRRRR

Was watching on TV waiting to see who won and accidently looked at the result. GRRRRRR

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

me 2!

 

[tw1nn1ejo]

and he lost the chance to win the grand slam!!!

 

[monica123]

i didnt want him to win the grand slam....that sounds horrib but i wanted someone else to!

 

[Ferdinase514]

Shows that it is actually very difficult...might have looked a bit easy if 2 people had won it in a couple of years.

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

yeah thats true!! I really wanted him to do it, hes such a nice guy and deserved it so much, but there we have it! Thats horses for ya!

 

[hayliana]

god im so emotional! nearly cried listening to andrew! what a lovely man.

huge well done to lucinda... even if i am jealous of her husband and her horse!

 

[Ignition]

feel so sorry for Andrew, but he was a very gracious loser. I say loser.. anyone whoe even completes Burghley is a winner to me!

Congratulations to Lucinda, she's got a wonderful little mare there.

 

[tw1nn1ejo]

yes it really does show how difficult it is to win the grand slam! andrew did really well thought to get this far so congrats to him! lucinda's mare is loverrrrly too!!

 

[Hattikins]

A MARE HAS WON BURGHLEY and a CHESTNUT one at that!!!!!!!!!! only standing at 15.3hh Headley Brittania is stunning and extremely talented-a Massive well done to Lucinda ...there is hope for us with chestnut mares

sorry that Andrew did get the grand slam but there is always another year and hes a very talented man

 

[darksided]

Well done to her!! I shall enjoy rubbing this in the face of a certain gobby-beeeeatch on my lesson who claimed that she hated mares full stop.
Andrew was so very gracious, just shows what an excellent sport this is.

 

[lil_northener]

How big is her horse? They kept saying how small she is but I never heard her actual height!

 

[samsaccount]

Such a huge dissapointment that he didn't win it he deseverd it so much, and so did the horses they are amazing. Unfortunatly it just wasn't his day with either horse in the show jumping with a total of 6 fences down (3 on each horse) such a huge shame. So close but yet so far!

Great news for Lucinda, on a cracker of a mare. She is fantastic, what a grand little pony with a huge amount of talent! Well done to Lucinda and Headley Brittania.

Really pleased for Lucinda, And for a mare to win as well! Thats great! That is a fantastic little mare- me wants!! I knew after her clear that andrew was going to find that hard to beat.

Gutted for Andrew. The overiding feeling was that i so wanted him to win because it was great for the sport, but i am a pippa funnell fan out and out and there was a teensy bit of me that didnt want him to win it because i wanted her to be the only one- call me selfish i apologise, but i do feel so sorry for him and i thought he was very gracious afterwards

What was Clayton Fredericks doing on the winning podium with Lucinda?

You've never seen Corinna Schumacher up there when Michael wins a GP.

 

[Hattikins]

Does he own the horse???? or something like that??

Not really a valid reason is it?!

 

[Weezy]

He loves her and knows he prob wont be there for a while so shared the limelight

Not complaining, he is rather yummy!

 

[christian]

just celebrating with her i guess- was surprised when he took the trophy though.....

 

[vic07]

We thought perhaps he owns the horse. Was quite sweet, perhaps she wanted him there? But he did seem to push her out the way and grab the trophy! boyf reckons he will get the trophy engraved and forget to put a first name - then claim the win!
