Not a good round for that Russian girl!

 

[jesterfaerie]

This horse didn;t even look confident over the first fence.

[CastleMouse]

[Rachel_M]

There are a lot of horses I see taking really long looks at the fences, a few pedaling them and some just not even wanting to take off.

"We're not in Kansas anymore..."

 

[Puppy]

Spoke too soon....

 

[Rachel_M]

Oh god, what a fall. He just bounced along, I hope he is alright.

 

[jesterfaerie]

[CastleMouse]

[CastleMouse]

[Weezy]

FALL?

Oh there we go

Seems we are a little behind you.

 

[Rachel_M]

He looks sore and a little disorientated.

 

[Weezy]

They are not replaying it on Euro - just showing the arena, oh, paramedics - oh he is up - yikes, not good.

 

[librauk]
