They go in reverse order, worst score first, best score last

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I hope Samantha Albert has a nice round, lovely horse!

 

[measles]

Sam holding and firing a bit.

Thats the starting order, its based on primarily on the team, not individual rankings

 

[measles]

Doesn't the course look fabulous? Love the triple bar

 

[Double_choc_lab]

MT called Samantha "he" at the beginning of the round

 

[alwaysbroke]

Love the Stonehenge fences

 

[stencilface]

Just found it - dam you BBC1!

 

[measles]

Thought Sam was a woman - another Tuckerism!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

83 seconds looks pretty tight to me!

Teapot - if you have HHO on your phone - hope you're having a brilliant day!!

Was just saying the same thing! Love the stone henge fences!

 

[measles]

The horse from Belarus looks like B's new 12.2!

 

[FairyCakes]

Love the course! Sam didn't seem that slow.. time may be tight! Pole pickers going to be put to work with this one

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

this is a bit of a demolition round for the Belarusian

 

[measles]

This is uncomfortable watching. Brave horse to keep going

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Eeeeeeeek! Poles dropping like flies in this round!

 

[Puppy]

Oh dear. My cousin just phoned to say that he's in town and just had a meeting cancelled, could he come round for tea.... Ha! I've warned him he won't get any conversation out of me.

 

[lilyoftheincas]

Gosh, this rider from Belarus isn't having a great time around these fences

 

[measles]

Whole course looks amazing. Who designed it? They should be applauded

 

[BobbyMondeo]

I do like this horse!!!

 

[stencilface]

This is a very dainty pony

 

[measles]

What height are the fences?

 

[pootleperkin]

MT seems to think gender is interchangable for everything - yesterday said something like 'this is a lovely mare but sometime his ..blah blah blah.....and he can pull on a bit' or words to that effect - think he just gets a bit excited with his flow....MC Mike!

 

[measles]

Well done the SA horse!

it is beautiful, love the 'British' fences, and that there's park benches being used in decorations - wonder if they yoinked them from the park!
