Would be very inclined to agree!
Amused by Mike's comment 'a few early marks we didn't entirely agree with'

Going to watch this horse with interest as I just bred a cracking colt out of my advanced event mare by a stallion from this sire line.

But I have to say, how a rider at this level can't sit to the trot properly amazes me. Russian guy nearly bounced out of the saddle in that extended trot

I like how CP had to have a neckstrap put on Ed the second she came out of the arena, naughty pony!

Waffled a lot!
I think you often see lower standards at the Olympics from non-horsey countries.
Some of the commentary is making me cringe, a bit negative now and again!

Doesn't help that I live in a valley! Only get one bar of internet if my laptop is near the window!

Me too, thought he and his rider were a good pairing, both quite relaxed and chilled.

Loved her test as well, she's the same age as me, and I could never ever imagine competing at the Olympics at my age!!!!

Thai rider has mega money behind her - was in Eventing mag.
Someone needs to shoot Lizzie Greenwood - asking Zara if she'll be nervous about tomorrow.

Why isn't Clare commentating on the equestrian side? Currently she's doing swimming. Makes no sense?

Interesting she rides with Kim Severson - there's a blast from the past!

Going by her twitter, she's there for the sj and dressage proper. Such a shame as she's so good and knows her stuff. Stupid BBC

I wish they'd put a camera down to show the dressage horses schooling.

Another one who loves Clare Balding! Eventing on the BBC isn't the same without her

I know, they did for a couple of minutes and it was very interesting.
Zara shouldn't be upset, it was a good test, just one mistake..
