Olympics eventing

Looking good for Brit and Ben so far.

Ever so pleased to Hear Mike Tucker extoling the virtues of French horses in eventing.

Ismene du Temple by Cabdula du Tillard (my best girl's brother) lying in fifth at the moment.

Alex Hua Tian due in any second.

We have shocking coverage on our TV over here - closest I have got to seeing anything live is watching live streaming on Dutch TV and as my BB is a bit slow at present (a whole nother story!), it is frustrating to say the least!

You would think, especially now we have Mark competing, that NZ TV could do a little better than showing the entire women's soccer and beach volleyball matches when NZ is not even playing and at least cut live to the NZ riders for 5 minutes when they are riding - Grrrrrrrr! Vent over!

Here's hoping for a great and safe XC day tomorrow!

Oh and to make this post a little more 'breeding' related - great to see the Irish horses kickin' some a$$ in the dressage too

What a shame for you! On the first night of the eventing dressage our commentator (Mike Tucker) welcomed viewers from GB and New Zealand. During the cycling today the BBC commentator was joined by a New Zealander one. There must be some shared coverage? You could also look at BBC live streaming on line.

TVNZ came to the party today and we had live streaming XC action - Yay! So I could watch the whole thing on my poota. Bit disappointing for us but still wonderful to watch and some really classy rounds.
