What's that 4 faults?

 

[PolarSkye]

Is anyone else really nervous about Scott Brash's ride? Obviously nervous about the whole team but if he's not gone clear over previous two courses, is he going to manage it over this giant scary course?? (I know little about SJ btw or Scott Brash or his horse for that matter, but team will prefer to count his score ahead of Peter Charles I'd imagine?)
And YAY go Ben!!!

Yup . . . very nervous . . . neither Scott nor Peter have distinguished themselves particularly . . .

[Emilieu]

Rotten luck but he kept it together so well.
He looked so calm!

 

[BobbyMondeo]

yeah 4 faults jenbleep.

 

[Marydoll]

When Scott turns it on he really makes it look easy, he is a class rider with a great horse, well capable of the job

Should have had a Whittaker in the team. They are experienced at this level and dont buckle under pressure!

 

[teapot]

The Saudis, the Swiss and the Swedes need to hit some fences

Well I know what we've done cos I just managed to click on at the right time (sneekily watching at work) but can anyone tell me what the rest of the teams have done so far?

I didn't wish to sound negative or uncharitable..I'd assume being in the team he's got what it takes..just makes it all the more nerve-wrecking for team GB!! Fingers crossed for SB and PC!!

This little Swedish grey should have a propellor for a tail - he tried so flipping hard.

Brave attempt by Matrix and Lisen given their horrible fall on the first day, she looks in pain.

 

[amage]

I love this Castlefield Eclipse mare

 

[Boxers]

Did the Swedish rider really need to yank her grey in the mouth sohard after the final fence?

 

[teapot]

Like I said the SWISS need to hit some fences...


There we go.

 

[PolarSkye]

Well without sounding uncharitable, the Swiss and Swedes have just obliged. Now Scott and Peter need to do their bit.

This course looks to be riding VERY big.....wow. Good luck to all!

Please can someone explain to me what happened with the Germans and the French riders yesterday, to put them out of team contention? Thanks.

 

[teapot]

And now the Saudis need to hit something too

Only top 8 teams qualify so am assuming their total scores were too big

 

[teapot]

Ah thank you Mr Saudi

 

[Emilieu]

Teapot - are you a witch?!

They hit too many fences!! Only top 8 teams from the first round went through to the team final today plus the relevant individuals

This precisely.

[teapot]

Teapot - are you a witch?!

Noooooo

 

[ecrozier]

God this is really exciting - I had rather dismissed our SJ team's chances I must admit.....

 

[Puppy]

Aha, gottcha Thanks Teapot and Amage.

 

[Emilieu]

Are you sure?!
