Olympic Showjumping Thread

[Weezy]

I still have a whole round to go before Tim

 

[jesterfaerie]

M_H_B no problem

I don't think I posted in the thread but I don't like them really but then again I am a traditional girl, nothihng looks better than a velvet hat like the Charles Owen ones. Not really liking the modern style hats or the idea of polo shirts and coloured jackets been brought in to replace the traditional jackets.
Maybe I should stick to showing!

Tim is in next!!!

 

[Puppy]

WOW!! Amazing round!

Cracking horse!

 

[jesterfaerie]

1 time fault for Marc!

Loved the Mexican horse - blanc des blancs - he'll be getting offered a lot of cash for that after the games.

[librauk]

[Puppy]

Meeeeeeeep! Come on Tim

 

[Weezy]

Wow, lots of clattering but the poles have stayed up!

 

[CrazyHippo1]

[CrazyHippo1]

well done tim, VERY unlucky!

 

[haybales]

ARGH!!! what a crying shame for tim! such good time too!!! he'll be rueing that

 

[Rachel_M]

I can't abide anything other than a nice tailored show jacket but there is space for style

 

[jesterfaerie]

Though I thought Tim did an awesome job!

LOVE that mare!!

 

[Weezy]

Oh sod it, that was SO well ridden, SUCH a shame about the pole. He really knows how to dare her and she really responds, super.

 

[librauk]

oh jeeez, my heart was pounding.....she jumped brilliantly....

it could be worse !!!...we are still in with a shout

 

[Rachel_M]

What a performance, to just get an unlucky 4 faults. So many were doubting him but he has put in a solid round!

 

[hellsdarkrose]

Corlato is such a star

and she is local to me.

Sort of

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Need a good solid round from Ben and then John really needs to work his magic!

 

[haybales]

hit the nail on the head, he really knows his horse!

 

[haybales]

p.s. weez, is it still 45 degrees?!

 

[Daffodil]

With you there! You can't beat the traditional velvet or the crash hats the eventers wear. Very smart!!

 

[Weezy]

It is GORGEOUS, but no, it is aroun 30 (thank GOD) and a breeze, really rather perfect

Am sat in my bikini on the terrace watching this, tis wicked!

Corlato just proves that great mares are the best horses to have, they will try their hearts out for you - shame I don't get on with them!

 

[Weezy]

Is anyone keeping team tally? I think we are pretty much out of contention aren't we?

 

[Weezy]

Nice round from the Swiss.

Chupa Chup - can he go double clear?

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Nah we're not too far out...

[Weezy]

Nope!

 

[Rachel_M]

I was just about to ask that as well. Doesn't look great but did any teams really go particularly well?

 

[CrazyHippo1]

We only need to be in the top 8 to get into tomorrows 2nd round for the team medals..
