Ouch and such a lovely horse too. Well done Sam for sitting that one out

 

[jenbleep]

Well sat from the Jamacian rider! Bloody hell!

 

[TiddlyPups]

Sam Albert sat beautifully, more slips ocurring...

 

[Nicnac]

She's was doing brilliantly on Passat and now Sam Albert has a stop.

It is slippery around - shouldn't she be eliminated with that fall..... couldn't quite see whether shoulders touched the ground....

 

[measles]

Show even

 

[maxie]

Problems all over the course now...

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Poor Sam Albert. Nasty slip

 

[dressage_diva]

Did he just lose a shoe?

I thought I saw one flick off? Feel so sorry for them, as that was just bad luck

 

[gadetra]

Yep

 

[missy_mare]

Is it 2 falls and a slip so far?

 

[measles]

Arrgghh blinking phone!

 

[TarrSteps]

Russian very "old style" but living up to his flying changes and knows his stuff. I imagine if you've done Russian FEI events it's less about dressage, more about surviving!

 

[only_me]

Whoops well sat - but does that not count as a horse fall as the chest was on the ground?

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Is it 2 falls and a slip so far?

rider falls, not horse falls though

 

[Mince Pie]

12 riders and 2 falls, looks like this course isn't as easy as it first looked!

 

[TiddlyPups]

Fabiy is jumping well

 

[measles]

Russian horse still impressing

 

[3Beasties]

Arrgghh blinking phone!

I knew what you meant lol

 

[Auslander]

Not liking these slips - they keep saying how good the going is, but it doesn't look that wya when we've seen the French horse slip badly several times, and now Sam Alberts horse hitting the deck.

 

[3Beasties]

Hold on course

 

[measles]

Lol Tarrsteps

Being held - nightmare

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

Russian rider held at basket fence

 

[maxie]

Hold on course....

 

[TiddlyPups]

Russian rider held on course before the fence the Belaruse rider fell at

 

[Honey08]

Rider just pulled up now. Held on course.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

First hold on course

 

[measles]

Hurtles to the toilet and back....!!

 

[only_me]

Have to say, don't think this is a course I would want to loose a shoe on!

 

[missy_mare]

Ah, yes. Obviously not as easy as it first looked!

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

what a shame for Fabiy, he was going so well. Wonder what the hold is for?
