Confused as to why the Japanese rider is in now if the team is eliminated? I am easily confused though.

Well done to him

i *think* its because if a team rider is eliminated and the team can't go on without that score the E'd rider is given 1000 pt's hence why some of the teams are on more than 1000 pens

i could be wrong though

I *think* that if a horse doesn't complete 1,000 penalties is added to their score but this still allows the others in team to complete. I think but someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

That is right, so all the teams get a placing.

Then the top 25 individuals regardless of if they are in a team go through to the final i think.
 
I'm really sorry, I've only just got in from the horse - where exactly are we up to? How are we doing? Any info gratefully received! :)
 
This horse has the same sire as the horse I ride :) My (very slight) claim to fame :D

Actually it's one of the Brazilian horses not sure which hehe - yes it is this horse!

My friend just text from Greenwich, she says she has know it alls sat behind them. I replied 'always at horse events!' :D
