Sorry but you are wrong - I have put all heights and measurements on the first page and not one of them is 1.70m, though one spread is 2.10m!

For the bronze - I think I would like to see MMB & Shutterfly

Agreed - there is something about Eric I don't like.

Do you know him?

There's lots about Eric not to like but none of it has anything to do with his ability to ride or the way he treats his horses.

But no doubt Ben will get some more rides out of this, and likely the partnership can look forward to 2012!

Nope, and I think he rides very nicely and his horses always look super - don't know why I don't *like* him TBH, just gut instinct!

I stand corrected! From the FEI rules:

Round B is over a different course of 10 obstacles including a double
and a treble. The height of the obstacles may be from 1.40 m to
1.60 m with their spread proportionate to their height but not
exceeding 2 m (2.20 m for the triple bar). There must be one
vertical obstacle and one spread obstacle of 1.60 m in height. If the
spread obstacle of 1.60 m in height comprises parallel top elements,
its spread may not exceed 1.70 m. The water jump as described
under round A is optional.

Length: 500 m minimum, 600 m maximum.

The jump-off is over a shortened course of at least six obstacles
taken from both rounds.

Still freakin' HUGE!
