Nice to see one of the 'emerging' nations riding so sensibly, looking after the horse and giving it confidence - there are a lot that could learn a lesson from her. Let's hope we see more of her in the future!

Alas, Poor Joris - sorry, couldn't resist

 

[Weezy]

I am VERY impressed with the ground - if we had had that much rain the grass would have turned to plough!

 

[carys220]

my horse runs on diesel....

 

[Apalacia01]

But Passat is now in what 47th!? Yikes...

Mine just died again...I don't have sound commentary but have two differnt typed commentaries...both of which are out of time with the live (ish) stream. Very confused!!

 

[jules89]

im sorry but im still in awe of carolines lower leg. how does she do it, it just doesnt ever move over a fence

it's got fantastic drainage apparently, with it being a golf course

 

[Flint12]

Mines been converted to run on used cooking oil, much more economical...

 

[Rachel_M]

What a pop this horse has.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Lenamore really is such a genuine little horse

 

[Weezy]

Yes but I am sure when they designed the drainage they didn't think 60+ horses would be galloping over it!
