Squeeeee! It's started! Can't wait for NW after the break, have ditched the parents so I can stay home and watch it

I loved the french horse's fly bonnet with the pirate skull and crossbones on it!

 

[Puppy]

I'm watching, and ridiculously over excited. I feel like I've OD'd on coffee (which I haven't) just buzzing with excitement.

Oh, is it wrong that I'm please Barney's canter work is going wrong...

OH is working all weekend so I have the big TV to myself and am flopped on the sofa with the 3 spangles (who are showing no interest what so ever!) Che was lunged, fed, fly sprayed and back in his field by 830am so he's happy as well!

 

[DarkHorseB]

Join the club. Between this and the fact my new horse is currently en route, and will be arriving in an hour or so, I feel like a kid who has eaten too many blue smarties !

Never realised they weren't allowed to use ear plugs! You learn something new every day!

This Canadian horse does not look like a happy bunny!

 

[Nicnac]

Is it just me who thinks that the screaming baby should be forcibly removed from the venue?
The horses, thank goodness, have ear muffs which slightly deaden the awful sound and the riders will be 'in the zone' but my ears are hurting!

Ha! Snap!

We viewed a horse yesterday which we are buying (subject to vetting), but I can't arrange a vetting on a Saturday so I am also full of extra excitement and jitters too!

Looking forward to seeing your new one

 

[Rostor]

Thanks Charlimouse and Malibu_Stacy

 

[vallin]

I'm liking Amistad a lot!

 

[TarrSteps]

He's totally freaked out, bless him! It's a loooooooong way from Port Perry Ontario!

Hats off to Michelle, she's 48, and this is her first International appearance. And has had that horse - a TB x Belgium! - since he was 3. A proper fairy tale.

 

[Miss L Toe]

What's happening............

 

[vallin]

Now this is a nice looking horse! Lets see what it can do

Hahaha agreed! Maybe it wants a go on the ponies?

 

[charlimouse]

I don't like the stock the Belgian rider is wearing!

 

[starryeyed]

This horse is beautiful!

[Nicnac]

Allez Virginie!!! Fantastic test

 

[jenbleep]

oooh, just one more horse, and a break then Nicola and Buzz!

Ahh good stuff! I hope he's a good boy

My OH is going to watch the xc, lucky bar steward, and told him to keep an eye for Buzz! He is a special xc horse! (OH only a smidgin horsey!)

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

This horse has ridiculously long legs, obviously the WFP of the event horses!
