Maybe that's what has been heard and mistaken. I thought William was retiring. I'm sure the commentator said at the dressage.

I've heard an awful lot of people saying it but I wasn't sure if any of it had actually come from WFP himself. He's been so good for so long it's easy to forget that by equestrian standards he's not particularly old!

I know I should like Michael Jung but his relentless perfection is so tedious. Sam is a little superstar though.

Is the problems some riders are having because of rider error or the fact they and their horses haven't had been 4* or enough experience 4*?

That lashing was pure frustration.


Every time it's the same way so there is clearly something wrong. He deserves to be eliminated!

Clark Montgomery eliminated.

obviously horse wasn't happy from the first refusal.

I thought the Olympics was only a 3*?

and my word, you can tell this Brazilian horse is an ex-racehorse. He's fantastic!

Love Summon Up The Blood - and not just because he was trained by Mick Channon not far from me! What a great jumper and lovely attitude, he looks like he's loving it.

Olympics is '4* equivalent'.
