Awful extension in the trot, in fact non existent.

Poor horse is only 8

 

[Calvo]

it seem to be rushing around doing shopping

 

[kerilli]

kinell, this was intermediate at the beginning of last year.
all the other 8 yr olds that have done Olympics have had their minds blown, iirc.

Really?

 

[seabiscuit]

horrid canter

 

[carys220]

I think they've both lost it now.

 

[kerilli]

bless, it has such a babyish face still.
AN winning an Int on a 5 yr old, jeez. not surprised, but a bit much imho.

 

[Rachel_M]

Thinking about the age of the horse, etc is this another political choice. Wouldn't have it been better to bring a slightly lesser known rider with a horse with more experience?

[kirstyhen]

Very tense in it's quarters, hindlegs are barely seperating. Seemed to relax a tad in the extension.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I suspect they will both be glad when the test is over

 

[Calvo]

i wonder how they cope in the XC

 

[icestationzebra]

Too much too soon for this horse I think. Do hope he isn't overfaced tomorrow

yup
horse called quimbo
its record speaks for itself and there is a pic in H&H this week (making the intermediate drop look tiny which it was NOT!!!) but i think intermediate at 5 is too young... 6 is pardoned just and 7 maybe one or two but not 5... think of its legs! (and the ground at wilton was maybe a tad hard...not that i found out. i got squished by a horse in the sj)

 

[carys220]

Surely dag is experienced enough to know whether the horse can handle it or not..?

 

[Calvo]

YAY! Mary King on in a sec!
