[sasquatch]

looks like Karin got stood on, hope they caught the horse ok!

 

[frostyfingers]

Gosh they've just shown UK as 3 after the 3rd team rider so far, I didn't expect that at all.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Well done Alex!

 

[MagicMelon]

20pens with a refusal at the last water. Said afterwards she wasn't feeling well and had a touch of asthma.

Aww man gutting. Not been a good Team GB day How disappointing.

Is there anywhere that you can get an update on scores after they have finished ? Its driving me nuts not knowing what is happening !! I have the live feed running in the background but I have to do some work LoL

Scratch that I've lost the live feed now as well *!x**!

 

[lewis2015]

Have they caught Karin's horse yet!?

I think the FEI website have a live scoring update sheet thing?

 

[frostyfingers]

Did Ian Stark just say "technical twiddly" or was it "twenty" - I suspect the latter but I do think "technical twiddly" is a great description!

So glad they both got up from that!

 

[frostyfingers]

God, that was horrific, I was just thinking he was going in to that so sensibly too. Really don't like the number of horse falls we've had today.

[Michen]

Oh no that horse

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Glad to see the polish horse get up looked a broken neck waiting to happen that fall. Ouch. Horse looked very saw.

 

[TheOldTrout]

That looked horrible. Horse is limping.

 

[Northern Hare]

OMG that was a(nother) horrid fall - I hope the horse is ok.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Ah looked like he was moving better there hopefully just a bit stiff.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Looked a lot better in the ariel shot

 

[lewis2015]

Made be wince and was worried for a second :/

 

[sasquatch]

poor horse looked really really sore

they've shown the overhead photo of them, both seem to be up and walking but horse does look hurt.

thankfully there've been no course holds up this year after falls. There were quite a few in London.

 

[teapot]

I seem to remember London had a quite high fall rate too and lots of holds
