For all those who didn't make it this year and in case you didn't realise, the whole evening show is on the red button from 6 tonight, so that's my evening TV sorted!
 
Currently watching, anyone got any idea what bit Georgia Tame was using looked like a German hackamore and American gag how would the combination of those 2 bits work? Looked a fairly excitable horse but it looked a lot of metal work
 
Mine is currently still going.

Loved the dogs even though I'm not a dog person at all but liked seeing how excited they got doing their agility, there was a stunning shetland sheepdog with grey/ dark grey fluffy patterning on it's back it was lovely colouring

I think that one was the Miniature Australian Shepherd .
 
I'm amazed at how light and airy (would that be right) the jumps are. There are hardly any fillers.i quickly looked up the 1980 Olympia on YouTube and the fences were so much more solid. Is it H&S, or have they made them more tricky to jump by building the fences this way?
 
Trying to think what my hysterical Welsh D who thinks patches of mud or poo or scuffed up sand are going to kill him would make of the bits of white flour left where they have moved the fences to make the jump off course ?
 
Scott's horse is stunning, nice to see a showjumping horse in fairly "plain" tack as well should imagine if he keeps going well with Scott him getting a lot of interest as a stallion

Robin would have a complete fit at that. and we wouldnt have a chance at cantering through a narrow gap between wings.

That sounds right it had tan legs and face but a really fluffy grey body with darker grey splotches

Scott Brash's horse in this is stunning hope he wins

yes that’s the one , though my brain not in gear - mini american shepherd not Australian!
 
I watched from the Household Cavalry display and thoroughly enjoyed it. I went on Wednesday to see the afternoon programme and tbh enjoyed it more on the TV, probably because I had a glass of win in my hand and a dog on my lap and I wasn't knackered from an early start! The J-F Pignon display was definitely more impressive and I thought it was longer!! SJ was ace too, another clever course.
