Fantastic, well done ben

 

[Boxers]

Nick and Ben just been, both clear.

peter in 6 horses time

They just changed what they said before.

Now they say Scott in 5 riders time and Peter in 13 riders time.

KSA are looking good

...sorry if already answered but do yesterday's scores not count for anything then- do they all start today with a clean sheet?

 

[Mavis007]

I think yesterday's do count for the individual but definitely not for the team. But may be wrong. I keep trying to find the information but can't find it

I believe yesterday's scores don't count for the team standings, but they do count for the individual.

So the top 35 riders to go through to the individual finals later in the week will be decided on the total of their penalties from yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Then they get a clean slate for the individual finals.

Is it just me or are some of the riders very busy with their hands? I'm not a show jumper, but sure I've never noticed it before.

Thought the Mexican horse that just went was very genuine!

AFAIK it is cumulative from yest and today so the top 45 on cumulative scores go through to next round of individual....but the bottom 15 yest are out no matter what they do today

Guess that makes sense- so Team basically decided over 2 rounds and then the 3 rounds count as qualifiers for individual final- where if ur in its all up for grabs.

..very confusing and lots of rounds to jump!

 

[jenbleep]

Eeek come on Scott!!!

 

[jenbleep]

Is it me or is he getting in deep to a lot of these fences?! Heart stopping!!!

 

[Boxers]

Oh no, last pole!

 

[jenbleep]

This Aussie horse looks teeny!

ETA: only 15.2hh apparently!

 

[xspiralx]

What a shame

Still, 4 faults from 3 rounds is not a bad score by any means and we're certainly not out of contention.

Hopefully Peter Charles will pull his finger out today and get a clear for us.

 

[Chocy]

Uh wot a shame 4 Scott but well done!

 

[Mavis007]

Oh no, last fence and he barely touched it. Good round otherwise

 

[Boxers]

This Aussie horse looks teeny!

They just said he's 15.2

 

[Chocy]

Itot is tiny 15.2 but I'd luv a shot!!

 

[Marydoll]

Aw poor Scott, my heart was in my mouth, i cant believe that pole rolled

 

[dieseldog]

Probably the best horse in the world too.

 

[TJP]

What a wee cracker, he made that look simple.

 

[JCWHITE]

Itot and Big star the class rounds so far for me

 

[Tilda]

Am loving this KSA rider's matchy matchy

 

[Tnavas]

Watching on live coverage in New Zealand - shame about GB's 4 faults they were going really well. We have no team competing which is a shame.

The course is amazing - the theme very clever and the areal views we are getting with the palace is incrediable - oops the double decker just lost some bricks

 

[Boxers]

So we really need Peter to go clear, and the final Saudi to get 4 faults

 

[jenbleep]

Probably the best horse in the world too.

Proves size doesn't matter!

 

[Boxers]

Peter's in. I feel a bit sick.

 

[PorkChop]

C'mon Peter!

 

[xspiralx]

Very disappointing

 

[Boxers]

Oh no, 8.

So we finish on 4?
