More 5* entries - Pau and Maryland

Horse and Country Facebook page ambiguously led me to believe I could watch the dressage today but it wasn’t on there. Luckily the live scoring was very efficient. H&C are now saying they are showing the XC tomorrow, they better be right!
Welldone the judges today with a marathon sitting.

Brilliant day of dressage today- seriously high quality throughout. Stand outs for me were Corimiro (another year of strength and he will be challenging for the lead), It’s Cooley Time (another super young horse), Jesse Campbell for the huge improvement and good old Ballaghmor Class for just looking amazing at 18.

We filmed the top few tests which will be in a short vlog tonight if anyone wants to see it

Thanks for the vlog. It was great being able to compare the top 4 one after another like that. Jarillo is a stunning looking boy and Ballaghmor Class is just class!

Glad you liked it! Jarillo was not looking too convincing in his first warm up a couple of hours before the test- he had a LOT of energy and Tim worked him over poles to just let him get some of it out which was really interesting to see. I thought he presented him beautifully in the test.
And what a privilege to see Ballaghmor Class. He was just presented to gain every single mark. What a legend!
Really looking forward to Xc today- we will film a bit again and try to get something out later with some of the main combinations

I don't think they are! It's Pau TV or nothing.
I can't see anything on their FB, and there's nothing on the website. It does come up as an option if you google, but it's from last year's event as the dates don't match up (24-28th Oct not 23-26th).

Has Bubby Upton had a fall from Cola? Not subscribed to the stream but results saying elimination

Yes she did, towards the end, looked fairly tired and skewed over a fence

Yes. She was rather attacking the fences and possibly paid the price

 

[Gamebird]

I think it was one of those half stride distances and she went for the long one, but the horse didn't really still have that in the tank.

Dirty Old Town is the real deal!
He looks like an Andrew Nicholson horse.

Only him and Tim made the time so far. Tim said he would need to be fast.

 

[Mimsyborogrove]

Actually Sam Ecroyd made the time.

Do you have to pay for Pau tv? I thought it was free but they want 19 euros

Proper horse!
And fairly rare to see a Frenchman not on a French bred

Great to see Corvett jump a beautiful round - 18yo and has now jumped xc around all of the 5*s in the northern hemisphere. Just needs to come out tomorrow to complete. What a horse, partnership and record!

Is Corbett the little grey who jumps insanely high over showjumps? If so, he’s a legend

Yes, he jumps insanely high over everything. And has still stayed very sound!!

Corimiro looks like a proper superstar

Just started to watch with everything crossed for BC who looks as good as ever.

 

[St Nicnaclaus]

Well done Galileo! Textbook.

BC really struggled there at 21

Just seen alex had a horse fall. Are they both ok?

 

[Mimsyborogrove]

BC collapsed the back rail of that corner in the water so 11 penalties

 

[Mimsyborogrove]

But what a fabulous horse he is.
Just seen valmy biats loose on course

Emily is up but how gutting for them.

 

[St Nicnaclaus]

Interesting listening to the French commentary by Benjamin Massie and Sebastien Cavaillon. Both saying Bubby goes out too fast and doesn't have enough horsepower left in the tank to get home safely and in the time.
And she's just fallen off again

 

[ihatework]

Such a shame

 

[St Nicnaclaus]

Such a shame

Same fence she fell off on Cola too.
