Fence down

 

[jesterfaerie]

He looked a little flat through that triple.
Wonder what he looked at after the planks....

 

[Puppy]

Owch!!

Can't believe they had that pole down....

 

[haybales]

least the time can be done....

 

[CrazyHippo1]

They need a good round from Ludger too, then that'll bring them up a bit but they'll still have to count an 8 then

 

[jesterfaerie]

Lets hope Ludger has one down aswell!

Yes

I was trying to be sporting and diplomatic but, we all have to admit, we had a smile when we said "one down".

not sure i like the "riding" connotations there

LOL! Despite having had the idea in my head for months, I hadn't actually thought of that

I just thought it was the perfect/special name for a guaranteed grey super star!!

[librauk]

HA HA HA!! EXACTLY what me and my farrier where saying the other day

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Is it just me that thinks this horse looks a little like Locarno?

 

[jesterfaerie]

I imagin they would have a break after Federico Fernandez for Mexico.

 

[Puppy]

I wouldn't like to guess in case I miss it. Am starving and daren't even move for food

Getting super nervous/excited about Ludger's upcoming round already!!

 

[jesterfaerie]

I really like Yamato, looks very much like Locarno.

 

[DidiR]

7 more to go, then a break, restarting at 14.40 our time (2140)

Just checked. Yes I think they are

*phew* I need food!!

 

[Puppy]

Crikey! That went a bit Pete Tong

 

[jesterfaerie]

Well that combo didn't go to plan did it.

 

[Rachel_M]

NEARLY came off. Was struggling for brakes coming round the corner.

Completely misjudged the first, no way was going to keep the second up and was just in no place to jump the third. Well done for finishing!

 

[jesterfaerie]

He was lucky the top pole was still on that last fence or he would have been off.

I have to say, with such a cricket score, coming out the ring, the guy looked relieved more than anything...
