Jeepers, that was well sat.

I'm going to cry for Ingrid

 

[BlairandAzria]

Did kitty get given 20pens?

 

[frostyfingers]

Do you get eliminated if you leave the start box before they say "go" or just penalties of some sort?

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Wouldn't want to be fence judging!

 

[Lexi_]

What did she get them for i was at work? Guessing crossed tracks in order for it to be able to be removed?

I'm a bit confused tbh! She defo got 20 at the first water and I *think* she was given another 20 at the last water - it'd make sense if that got removed because it looked dubious to me.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

I'd like this last Brazilian to finds safely, be lovely for them 😊

 

[sasquatch]

That'll be Germany out then?

not sure if they have eliminated her or not! website says she only has 20 penalties.

I don't like watching Philip Dutton

 

[frostyfingers]

Ludwig needs a knot in his reins!

 

[teapot]

Ingrid been eliminated yet?

Ludwig needs a knot in his reins!

Haha, yes! I noticed that he keeps losing them!?

 

[Lexi_]

Are those brushes in the final water A and B or separately numbered?

If I'm remembering my FJ rule book correctly, you can retake the first element of a combination again if you have a problem at the second part. You'd only get penalties if you have a refusal etc at it.

doesn't look like it.

Sweden have pushed GB down into 7th, and Ireland into 8th as well.

Maybe she didn't re-jump it!? It's hard because the footage didn't do a replay of it for long enough for see for definite!

Hate to say it but if Marcio has a good round then Brazil will push even further down !!

Was he just eliminated at the water ?

 

[BlairandAzria]

Another lovely Brazilian horse!

 

[LeannePip]

I'm just a bit sad we didn't get to see Jock Padget and Lush take on this course - i wonder what they'd have made of it?

 

[frostyfingers]

Gosh I hope he's got padded underwear on, that looked painful!

She defo rejumped it, I just don't think you get penalised for that unless FEI rules are different to BE.

ETA - Arghhh, I've just seen someone say she jumped the alternative (the other way) and then A? Is that right? I don't remember that happening, just them rejumping the double.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Ouch!

 

[only_me]

I think he got away with that!

I think you spoke too soon there, well sat my word.

I'm sure omeone else got penalised for it earlier

 

[fidleyspromise]

What a horse this one is.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Well done Brazil!

 

[sasquatch]

I'm sure omeone else got penalised for it earlier

yeah, I think one of the Italians or Russians was eliminated for it?

this last round is getting a bit scary!

 

[frostyfingers]

Such a shame that it was a bad day for the Brits, it will be interesting to see how many horses are presented tomorrow. I suspect a fair few will be pretty sore.

 

[sasquatch]

does anyone have any news on the Polish horse?

agree - even a lot of the ones who made it home, didn't do so cleanly - the ground looked pretty unforgiving too
