Has italian had 20pens? Was bottom left a while ago

I wondered that! Nearly blooming fell off at the corner though!

 

[teapot]

A fair few type of pins being used on the course

 

[Crackerz]

The flags are taking a battering!

 

[Mince Pie]

I'm confused, I've set it to record but says it starts at 2.50?

 

[Crackerz]

I dont think i can bare to watch our riders!!

 

[PolarSkye]

[TheOldTrout]

[only_me]

[Chloe..x]

[Lexi_]

[ElleSkywalker]

[teapot]

Norty pony, rearing is not needed!

 

[lewis2015]

Which Russian withdrew?

 

[teapot]

Hopefully the wrong one

 

[Chloe..x]

She's having a nightmare!

 

[Mince Pie]

Gemma's horse being very naughty

 

[only_me]

The russian rider that withdrew, wonder was it the one who didn't look completely sound in dressage?

I can't see many people going direct at the cottage/gate combo.

Flip gemma not having a good day!!

 

[TheOldTrout]

Oh no, Quicklook's not on form at all.

 

[Parrotperson]

We need to remember that it's not dear old Aunty Beeb who bring us the pictures but the Olympic broadcasting service. So the Beeb can't dictate what pictures we see.

It's a tricky little course. Problems spread out which is what you want I guess

Gemma having a bit of a mare ��

 

[lewis2015]

Hopefully the wrong one

Yes, I was hoping so

 

[Mince Pie]

What happens if a team rider is eliminated - is the whole team out?

 

[Shadowdancing]

Pants!!!

 

[Fools Motto]

Poor Gemma. Some things are just not meant to be. Naughty pony.

 

[lewis2015]

Oh no, Quicklook's not on form at all.

Yikes

 

[Dunlin]

Thanks for info re: the pins. Poor Gemma, horse looked a bit surprised and now with this refusal he's just eyes on stalks, strong and dare I say it naughty. Not sure which Russian withdrew. I don't like this course to be honest, it just looks really very big, the ground is very undulating and tiring, the time is exceptionally tight and there seems to be a lot of checking and hauling about needed for a large number of fences.

I'm absolutely gutted for Gemma. She's such a good, reliable horse and then the one time it does all go wrong, it's at the Olympics

 

[Fools Motto]

Well done Sam!! Fab round. Love that mare.

Good question!
