Oli Townend, Pippa Funnell, What a rubbish XC day, but...

Did anybody stop to congratulate William Fox-Pitt who actually won?

Well done WFP

BTW I'm being sarcastic about Oli and Pippa

 

[Allover]

Well said, i have not seen any of it, was he on top form?

 

[caitlineloise]

From what I saw, in the flesh, he was on amazing form.

 

[Allover]

Yep you prompted me to watch his XC round, he made it look easy!!!!!

Agreed, a fantastic competition for a young horse's first 4* Only problem will surely be choosing which horse to take to the Olympics now?!

wfp was brilliant and i think lenamore, i think thats how its spelt was brilliant and i really liked the hurdle jumps wish i had a mini set at home. i am tempeted to go steal some from my old school would make brilliant skinny jumps.

Also Burghley TV website has fab 'vintage' videos of the years 1990 to 2010. Great to watch. Someone got a dunking in the trout hatchery but just got back on to carry on the course!

Thank you everybody for agreeing with me,

And madeline1 we saw lenamore at the jubilee leap, which he flew from about a stride out and still cleared it like a pro! He jumped it amazingly and we saw 10 riders jump it.
