[tricksibell85]

[carys220]

They really can't blame the horses for getting excited, it's the biggest stage in the world!!!

what ive noticed...
its nice to see that even when these horses act completely doolaly in their tests, im pleased to see that none of the riders have got angry, kicked them with the spur and screamed at themself (or the horse) because ive seen that happn before...

Whilst the world is watching, smile and take it on the chin. When the cameras aren't following you....

[sea_view]

That was better then I was expecting, thought at first it might have been spooky

 

[carys220]

welcome back teapot

 

[Rachel_M]

Ditto, horse seemed to calm down when asked for some proper work.

 

[RachelFerd]

thought keymaster was very well ridden to avoid any airs above the ground. Spooking all the way through the test and still managed not to destroy the accuracy.

 

[kerilli]

ooh, sharon next, praying he rises to the occasion, he can do an amazing test.

 

[sea_view]

Go Sharon!!! Fingers X'd everyone!!!

 

[carys220]

shall we start a break thread??

 

[Rachel_M]

Tea break. I need to top up my cup.

 

[janej55uk]

Oh its the tractor again!

 

[Calvo]

sharon hunt is next after the break!mlets hope it a good'un!

 

[Penguinboots]

C'mon Sharon!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Off to make a brew . . . nervous for Sharon!

 

[jules89]

fingers crossed for sharon shes worked hard for this. but my friend works for her (or did at leasat) and rekoned if the horse went to these olympics it would have a career after - dodgy feet and wud hate the atmosphere

 

[seabiscuit]

Ok perhaps the horses cant take the atmo but all four of them?? the better trained the horse, the more relaxed it would be in an enviro like this.

I just think that the Irish riders and their horses are extremely talented, their horses are amongst the best and the riders definately have it all there.. they should be winning the medals every year but they NEVER do...so something is going VERY wrong here with the Irish federation...

 

[sea_view]

Anyone for crisps and dip during the break - top up of wine?

 

[Jiffy]

Doh! Not another break before Tankers Town.

 

[sunflower]

Oh poor teapot - that must have been very traumatic. My internet wasn't working for the beginning but I have set up camp downstairs where the digital tv is.

 

[sammule]

just noticed only 2 men in top 10 scores so far!!

 

[Ezme]

eugh, i don't wana wait 15mins... i'm sleepy!

Nah, just keep it here. I can't see the reason for jumping constantly, I think banter adds to the excitement, not detract.
