Pratoni XC on bbciplayer?

[Sealine]

Does anyone know if the XC is available on iplayer today or is it only the show jumping on Sunday?

Thanks everyone.

Camera work not great at the moment. Seeing a lot of galloping horses and not much jumping. Hopefully it will improve.

It's all looking a bit easy considering it's a world championship. I know they have to make it 4* for the lower nations but are there lower nations there? It's like lowering the top golf competitions or the world cup.

Loving "Artist". The horse can certainly gallop.

Seriously classy. And originally picked up from Eventstars in NZ as a very cheap failed racehorse - the dream!

 

[Tiddlypom]

Such a classy round inside the time from Ros and Lordships Gruffalo ?

Go Yasmin.

 

[teapot]

Ros smashed it, I adore that horse.

Go Yasmin.

Ros's round was just superb... So incredibly exciting as such a young horse still

 

[Supertrooper]

Well done Yasmin

Not many people watching on the course.

Not too easy from where I’m sitting only the very good are getting any where near the time , certainly not going to be a dressage competition

 

[teapot]

It’s deceptive I think. Quarter way through and only one inside time so far…

The undulating nature of the course is certainly putting a premium on fitness, even the jumping efforts are a definite step down from 5*.

It does always seem a bit weird that the World Champs at eventing is dialled down in difficulty compared to the top international events to make it more accessible to less experienced nations.

No 22 Shutterflyke only just completed - very very tired.

Didn’t like the noises the horse was making

Sometimes it’s not about dimensions though - that brush in the water at Burghley wasn’t at full 5* spec

Agree, as the top level it should be 5* didn't it used to be? Just feels a little underwhelming same for the Olympics

They also kept missing on camera the problems , hopefully improving now .

Credit to the Spanish rider for pulling up, his horse didn't look completely happy going round.

Saw on Facebook eventing uk are asking people to watch on bbc as at the time had only 985 people watching . Switched over from clip my horse , it’s identical coverage and commentary to increase the figures to support the sport.

That’s the website viewing figures, it won’t include those of us watching on tv

 

[Tiddlypom]

Thanks for that heads up. I don't have Clip my Horse so must have been one of the 985. That's a really low viewing figure - wonder if people just don't know that it's on?

Ah, website only - I get iplayer straight on the tv (big screen). HD quality.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Did I see someone in that horse ambulance?

 

[HashRouge]

I like the Italian horse and rider!
