What time is mr Jung and Sam on??

Just walking into the arena now

 

[TarrSteps]

So frustrating trying to trace the breeding of that superb horse. Thoroughly deserved to go into the lead

Is this not right?

[teapot]

Spook at the flowers, the crowds, anything please...

 

[vallin]

4, 4, 5 for the medium trot...such a shame

 

[Laafet]

ooo cantering in the medium.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Come on Herr Jung, as much as I respect you - a couple more little mistakes like that one please! (holds unsporting head in shame!)

 

[volatis]

I have been looking at the breeding here Volatis.

Thank you, that helps me track down some of the more unusual ones!

 

[Puppy]

Would never have expect that mistake!

Quite good news for us!

4, 4, 5 for the medium trot...such a shame

another jog

eta can't believe he got a 7 and 8 from two of the judges despite jogging

 

[georgiegirl]

Much like I can't believe andrew hoy got an 8 for his final halt yesterday!!!

 

[teapot]

40.6!

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

40.6!

that was not deserved IMHO, low forties but not that low!

 

[angelish]

40.6!

i was close

still if the judge hadn't of blinked in the medium walk i would have been spot on

 

[Miss L Toe]

Even I noticed the error.........

 

[Supertrooper]

Horrendous conditions in the cycling, pouring down!!

 

[Chocy]

Another 1 with brown saddle & black bridle- no likey!

 

[oldvic]

Brown saddle & black bridle on nereo- very nasty!!

It is not a show class. The judges won't have noticed or cared. A tan bridle would look a lot worse and he's hardly likely to ask his sponsors for a new saddle to match his bridle!

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

He was a bit tight but he was born with a short neck and a difficult shape. The extended warm up would have been a big disadvantage as self carriage is hard for him.

Andrew doesn't looked thrilled.

He would be desperately disappointed, not with the horse but with the circumstances. He wouldn't have considered it necessary to stop the competition.

 

[cob&onion]

Are those rockel gloves most of the riders are wearing?

 

[angelish]

He would be desperately disappointed, not with the horse but with the circumstances. He wouldn't have considered it necessary to stop the competition.

i'm sure he was disapointed with the circumstances but i think the roof blew off two of the judges huts so it might have been rather necessary to replace them

 

[TarrSteps]

Another 1 with brown saddle & black bridle- no likey!

Your choice, I guess. But I suspect they are more worried about having the EXACT piece of tack that suits the horse.

 

[TarrSteps]

Ride faster, people, there's another thunderstorm coming . . .

This one makes the other look like a spring shower!

AND . .. IT'S JUST CUT OUT THE SATELLITE!

 

[Puppy]

Oh no, no, no! Please don't tell me it's going to be foul again for WFP's test

 

[3Beasties]

there's another thunderstorm coming . . .

Probably just in time for WFP's test!

 

[teapot]

Puppy, WFP is Godlike, he'll probably part the clouds


Looks like we might onto our first medal ala the women's road race people. Only 9km from the finish

 

[TarrSteps]

There is lightning hitting the ground here . . .

 

[TarrSteps]

Good girl, Rebecca! I was wondering about Jessie staying, that didn't make any sense!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Puppy, WFP is Godlike, he'll probably part the clouds

That's the spirit! WFP will keep his cool whatever the weather

 

[Puppy]

Puppy, WFP is Godlike, he'll probably part the clouds

His head might actually be higher than the clouds. They maybe only make it up to his elbows...

Not liking the sound of that thunder!

 

[Supertrooper]

God, can't watch the finishing stages of the cycling!!!
