At least she has the hill to let him power up once restarted!

Really hope Japanese horse is okay, how absolutely gutting.

Not going to lie Mary's round is making me nervous, do they normally look so haphazard? Someone reassure me haha I don't follow eventing much!

 

[teapot]

Mary's so cool under pressure though!

Ten seconds behind the leading time at moment. Looks like he has plenty of petrol to belt up the hills at the end. Scaring the life out of me watching this!

Am quite surprised they can't get the Japanese horse off the course at the last fence without a hold. Perhaps fence was damaged?? Actually, they are saying horse may have hurt her knee.

About to re start...

 

[Emilieu]

Oh I can't breathe!

 

[gadetra]

Off again now soon...

 

[doratheexplorer]

Mary is so experianced this wont affect her mentally, but I hope Archie isnt too lit up and keen!!

 

[gadetra]

Off again

 

[dressage_diva]

Will the hold help Cavalier settle? Or make him keener?

That was what I was wondering - he looked full of himself as she was trying to bring him back to walk! Hope this doesn't make him even keener and stronger!!!!

Latina and Mr Yumira look like they are having a wonderful time! Who is the chef d'equipe for Japan??

No idea but two of them ride with Dirk Schrade (one was with Bettina until last year) and the other with Michael Jung.

 

[stencilface]

what heart in mouth?? What's going on??????

Just Mary King doing her best to scare us as usual! Lots of they just made it moments, pony looking like he's having fun though!

 

[Dizzydancer]

Surely its a big disadvantage to be stopped half way through? Hope the faller is ok tho

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Come on Mary, keep going strong!
