Does anyone know where I can find the dressage scores from Pau? I can't find them on the website. Thanks in advance.

Gosh did anyone see that Horse just jump straight into the wall..!

 

[mle22]

Yes, saw the horse jump into the wall and very unimpressed by the rider’s attitude!

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

It was awful. I hope the horse is ok. The rein broke earlier on in the course, surely he should just have pulled up

 

[Velcrobum]

Wow what a super super round by Tom McEwan to win.

Yes, saw the horse jump into the wall and very unimpressed by the rider’s attitude!

Being charitable and having read an interview with rider I think his attitude was directed at himself for not pulling up when the rein broke rather than at the horse. Might be wrong.

 

[myheartinahoofbeat]

He's written an apology on his face book page and yes he was angry with himself for not pulling up

 

[Velcrobum]

Another apology and a very reasonable explanation. As a competitor I understand where he was coming from.

Having seen the fall on Youtube, I can understand why he did not pull up when the rein broke, but personally I would have been looking to go find out how the horse was rather than throwing whip, bib, air jacket on the floor.

And yes, I had a horse fall at a 3 day where I was battered, and the doctor had to chase me as I was sprinting after my horse, so I can say that with confidence!

I think he should have pulled up when the rein broke. He could have killed someone in the crowd or himself or his horse. As for his apology, I’m sure he was angry with himself, but I can’t help but feel his first and instinctive thoughts should have been for his horse.

The footage is astonishing. I was amazed the horse took off into the wall in the first place! I was left thinking that that is what adrenalin does. I can imagine the same may apply to the rider. It must have been a terrible shock and the reaction was an adrenalin fuelled heat of the moment.

I also think he should have pulled up. He clearly didn't have control and it's just luck that the obstacle the horse attempted left him fairly unscathed. It could have been so much worse, not least if the horse had jumped into an area with people.

Pau is such a lovely event, very laid back and uncrowded, sunshine often too
