Oooo, forgot Canada and Ireland actually.

Thought start time was 10am?

I'm gutted but I missed Mary's test - can anyone find a link to a replay? Or will it be in iplayer later?

the 'live' player here http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/2012/live-video/bbc_one_2012_hd lets you rewind and rewatch a whole days action (with chapters to aid finding the section you want) for any sport that day. Its not entirely clear, to me at least, how long a days videos will be available for though...

 

[jenbleep]

Thanks guys, I'm going to have to get on iplayer her test sounds fantastic!

 

[Marydoll]

I like AP But looking very stilted and sharp in this test

No, I mean because of the way the draw is split Canada does not have a horse in the ring until noon.

they keep talking about qualifying marks - what is that relating to?

Getting to the Olympics in the first place, ie you have to get certain marks at a certain level to qualify to compete at the Olympics

I take it this Master Rose is the one and the same that used to be with OT?

Yupyup

 

[teapot]

Yup, this guy had an article in Eventing mag, apparently his first ride is injured?

 

[Puppy]

You can see the Master Imp stamp, can't you.

 

[Marydoll]

Nice one for master rose

 

[vallin]

Lovely calm, quiet test

 

[teapot]

I ADORE this horse

 

[Carefreegirl]

What was Marys score ? In car so can't watch

 

[Marydoll]

Master imp has left his mark eh

 

[Puppy]

Mary 40.90. She's in second place

 

[Sol]

Haven't watched all, but is it just me wondering why almost every horse is in a flash noseband? Some of them look pretty tight too!
Thought the hogged horse looked very nice, even if it wasn't perfect.

 

[NinjaPony]

Nom nom, this horse is gorgeous!

 

[Puppy]

RM's tail doesn't look real!

 

[vallin]

Not particularly impressed by this horse, and I'm a massive sucker for greys!

 

[Carefreegirl]

Thanks Puppy
A friend is there and text me a picture of Mary in the arena but when I text her back ten minutes later to get the score she couldn't remember !!!!!

The horse I ride , Zeb, has a tail like that

 

[sare_bear]

Didn't like the grey, looked rigid through his back!
Looked at OB's test and feel gutted for her. Should have been a sub 50 test. Buzz looked so relaxed for him.

 

[Puppy]

I'm not sure that my grey's tail ever has, or ever will, look that white, even if I spent a week shampooing it

Gorgeous, gorgeous horse though

 

[NinjaPony]

Hmm this test isn't going that well, considering what the horse is capable of. Looks tense and not quite there for her.

 

[jenbleep]

Hmm quick break to watch some tennis! R. Fed is playing!

Boiling hot water and Persil Actilift is what you need!

My grey's tail is very white . . . but that's because I'm a tad obsessive .
