Hope the x-country's on the red button!

Surely equestrian is more popular than water polo?!

Can cope with dressage online as long as xc and final day are on tv, which I'd imagine it should be, bigger audience and all that.

Dressage starting order is here https://www.rio2016.com/en/equestrian-eventing-individual-dressage-day-1

This Irish pony is very obedient and willing, but it's a little "tick tock" - Kali was the same (not the obedient and willing part, LOL). I like it though - and can't wait to see it go XC.

THANK YOU! Having only Freeview I had been trying to find that and failed miserably.

 

[PolarSkye]

Changes were nice! Well done that man - and what a smashing horse. I'd have him!

I saw Simon Porloe at the Blenheim 8&9 year old class in 2009!

It is on Freeview red button...you need to go to select sport or some such thing tab (first on left when i looked) and scroll down through all the sports they are currently showing and find it.

I get the option of bbc1 or bbc 4, despite having six red button channels on my tv...

 

[PolarSkye]

Not enough Medium or Extended shown . . . I'd call this workmanlike if the horse wasn't an elegant TB type.

[PolarSkye]

Two more until Gemma?

No availability here as only freeview. I hope the rest is on the red button. Thanks for internet link but speeds to slow here and just getting a lot of buffering not happy bunny.

 

[teapot]

One, not two, damn Tucker

 

[Doublethyme]

To get on Freewiew, i just put tv on bbc1, press red button. Lots of tabs come up, select 'Today's live'. Scroll down till you see the eventing dressage and select. Working for me.

 

[TheOldTrout]

Gemma in 2 horses' time.

 

[Kylara]

Swapped from the rowing (why are the sports I want to watch all on at the same time!?) and everyone seems to be getting middling scores, nothing amazing yet, though some good little spooks.

Gemma is in after Oz

 

[teapot]

Not an option here sadly - do you have a smart tv per chance?

 

[Kylara]

If u can get red button, you should be able to access the sports menu to choose what to watch (actual red button the menu is blue button)

Feel sick with nerves waiting for Gemma. I remember FJing at Somerford in 2012 when Quicklook won a novice section and now she's at the flipping Olympics!

 

[Sarah_K]

Hmm, Australian rider in. Men at Work playing in the background. I like it

 

[teapot]

Nope, still only choice of bbc1 or 4. I've travelled through entire tv list too and none of the red button channels are showing anything. Not an issue to watch online but prefer watching on a tv.

All I get on the blue button menu is BBC1 or exit! Internet connection is holding up though so far, touch wood...

 

[PolarSkye]

Come ON Gemma!

[PolarSkye]

Flippin' LOVE this horse!

P

 

[Bradsmum]

I could never do this, I'm too tense just sitting on the sofa!

 

[PolarSkye]

Come on girl, get it back.

P

 

[PolarSkye]

2nd change was better - this was a nice test, despite that break into canter early on . . . very well done Gemma.

P

 

[TheOldTrout]

Yes, good start for the team and she looked pleased at the end.

 

[Lexi_]

Ach, would have hoped for a slightly lower mark than that - looked like a nice test to me, other than the break.

 

[teapot]

47.2 is provisional score. Pain going so early really.

Sandra A's test is coming up soon which will be an interesting one
