Shame for Guy Williams. The turn from 10 into 11 is absolutely vile


Eta oh dear, all going wrong for Peder F

This course is looking quite tight . . . I know the arena is not huge, but those distances look quite challenging . . . and what's with the gazillion plaits?

Well, that went well. Bet Bob Ellis just breathed a sigh of relief, lol.

I am watching this now giggling at the opinions people will have on the different styles of turnout.

 

[_GG_]

Unrelenting is the perfect term for this course!

 

[teapot]

Lovely round from Peter Charles

I love Peters horse. Surprised nobody has likened him to Lucas horse with head in air and no martingale

Is there anywhere to watch it online?

And how do you get it up on tv?

Nothing against one-eyes but seeing the sunken eye hole made me feel a but queezy!

I just thought wow - very tight course and having to take that into account...

No doubt it was impressive. Just didn't need the close up view of the eye hole!
