Going to watch Vittoria then off to walk the neighbours lab. It's bright sunshine here!

Will be back in time for WFP

I thought andrew's looked v tight in the neck all the time.. or it has a short neck anyway!

 

[jenbleep]

Wet roads, a couple of crashes - one girl in a true English ditch of stinging nettles... and an Italian may well be penalised for cycling in the steam of her team car!

Nooo!! That's one of my worst nightmares when out hacking, falling in nettles

 

[TarrSteps]

Just indulging my Cevin Z fetish. .

 

[TiddlyPups]

Come on Penny and Vitt!

 

[teapot]

The Swedes are a dark horse team wise - bumped us into 4th currently!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Hope Vittoria has a lovely test - looking good so far

I love this mare, another fan of Cevin Z here xx

Who is Mike Tucker. Can you tell me something about him and his qualifications?

 

[TiddlyPups]

Why do they keep calling Pennyz a 'he'?!

 

[TarrSteps]

You would think that one would at least be obvious!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Ooops, wobbly on the changes!

 

[teapot]

MT rode at 4*, previous director of British Eventing, not sure if he ever represented GB internationally...

 

[jenbleep]

You would think that one would at least be obvious!

Yes....anyone can see she doesn't have boy bits!

 

[TiddlyPups]

Such a shame about the last change, not the mark she would have hoped for - can't wait to see her jumping

 

[teapot]

Andrew's mark revised to 45.0

 

[Supertrooper]

There was a lovely photo of him and toddler Zara in the back of H&H last week.

 

[TiddlyPups]

Yes....anyone can see she doesn't have boy bits!

They still referred to her as he even when they were talking about the close up of her bottom/tail swishing...!

 

[teapot]

Well the women's road race is being far more sporting - telling each other to slow down on the bends!

 

[NinjaPony]

This polish horse is really lovely looking
