Lots of great minds!!

I have belatedly remembered something about adjusting the fences because of some very heavy rain, so maybe those fences have been removed from the course.

Removed ten I think I read

 

[teapot]

Not a day to have a grey...

 

[teapot]

So glad to see both up after that fall!

i think Pippa has decided its too wet as she pulled up quite early on

 

[teapot]

Chuffed for Zara; think Pip had a stop/run out as the results had a R then running, before she retired.

Glad Zara got round this time!

I’m so glad Oli gave Cooley Rosalent such a good but safe ride today. Love that mare and I could have punched him at Burghley

He's by an Autralian sire out of a bitch from Digelsa/Felfree/LePommeau lines.

Does anybody know if there was a Sunday only ticket?
We live quite near so, having done a Saturday, we thought of going for today but could only find on line weekend tickets.

Fantastic result. Well done Caroline, she beat the big guns. Lovely to see a different name on top of the podium, well deserved.

 

[teapot]

Great to see a new name on a 5* winner list, and think she was the fastest xc yesterday too.

 

[ihatework]

Managed to stay off t’internet and just watched on replay! Fantastic sj and so pleased to see Caroline win

Well done to the British riders, the placings speak for themselves.

What I can't get out of my head was the prize giving programme where the French team was being feted, the tricolore was flying and the Marseillaise being played.Everybody was smiling and...,. Roz Canter reversed into the space behind them thereby perfectly photo bombing the team photo.

Whats' wrong with that: There was a horse-ball competiton alongside the 5* and the French team won and they were entitled to their prize giving, weren't they?
If one nation is being amply and rightly celebrated at Pau, it's GB!

Nothing wrong with it, there's just a certain irony .

Any tips on watching the Xc once you've signed up? There 3 x 360 minutes of Xc videos, and none seem to have commentary on them apart from the background commentary you can hear throughout tannoys. If that's the case, fine, but I was hoping for something a bit better.

It’s the ‘cross-country commenté’ video with both French and British flags on the thumbnail.
