village idiot :D
I thought it was a yellow card offence, not elimination, but I stand to be corrected.
It was definatly one 'good ' one and one sort of one I thought you were not allowed to but wondered perhaps it had been changed since I was completing.
*Numpty newbie-to-dressage question alert*
I thought that white gloves were required in the dressage... most wore them (although Mark T's looked heavy duty enough to prune the roses in)... but I saw several black pairs?
I actually looked up the FEI rules for this as I thought they should be light coloured gloves, however I believe it says light/white gloves or to match the jacket.

25 go through with max 3 from each nation![]()
I was just looking at the results - who would have thought WFP would have been the lowest score of the team post XC. I'm gutted for him, despite being a MK fan, I really thought the man deserved the individual gold, but doesn't look that likely now!
Thanks.
Are that 25 decided after the final show jumping?
Seems a shame when you've got your whole team in the first 25, that someone lower down from another nation can bypass the lower two! Actually it all seems a shame to me - it is heavily biased toward the better show jumpers anyway!
ps, No, I thought WFP chose to ride Lionheart. He flew round Bramham...
Re the whip, I didn't specifically see Toddy use his, but I noticed someone (Karin Donkers I think, but would need to check) use their's after the last. I only noticed because I was fence judging on Saturday and as part of the briefing it was specifically mentioned, that you aren't allowed to use it after the last fence.![]()
Wow eventing just made it on to the news at 10!!!!
