They are - I simply don't see the point.

Track is huge. I am overlooking the entrance and interesting watching the horses ring checked for hypersensitivity when they come out. Someone from ground jury takes boots off and rubs hand in white glove down quickly. Don't know what I expected but it's a fleeting process

That's just the boot check not the hypersensitivity check. Hypersensitivity check is done with thermal imaging camera and can't be done immediately post round as if the horse/legs are warm you will get skewed results.

LOVE Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum's riding!! Exhibition of how to ride the water line. beautiful round!!!

 

[TJP]

Cracking round from Meredith. What a mare.

 

[ChiffChaff]

Has Meredith Michaels-Beerbaum got weights in her heels and velcro on her boots??? Her legs never move! Impressive stuff!

 

[PolarSkye]

Missed Meredith's round b/c I stupidly went to check BBC3 . . . grrrrr. Well done for going clear though.

Beautiful. And Bella Donna is just incredible, what a horse. I spend a lot of time on YouTube mesmerised with how Meredith's lower leg never moves a fraction even over those huge fences...

Exactly! I have no idea how it is possible!

 

[Boxers]

What height are the fences?

 

[Quadro]

What time are the British riders on at?
Q

 

[measles]

Meredith has just spent the entire time in the holding area on the way out hugging her horse, flat on his neck

 

[Chocy]

Is Meredith tiny or the horse huge?! & looong reins!

 

[measles]

Nick in 25th, Ben 31st, Scott 39th & Peter 47th

 

[Marydoll]

1.58m top height, water is over 4m wide

 

[measles]

Horse huge!

 

[PolarSkye]

What time are the British riders on at?
Q

Don't have individual times but Nick (first Brit) is up in 14 riders' time . . . so proably a good 20 minutes or so at least.

[Quadro]

Thanks M have to go out at half 3 so could you send me updates please?
Q

 

[Marydoll]

These jumps will definitely make your sphincter twitch

 

[Marydoll]

You wouldnt want a spooky horse with that overhead cam whining back and forth

 

[PolarSkye]

Can't get over what a big, big track this is . . . it's really testing the horses/riders. Is it fair, though?
