Was just thinking that puppy.

 

[RachelFerd]

i love that horse 'california' for japan. just looks relaxed, easy ... want to take him home!

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Eeek that course looks pretty mean, be interested to see how Ben does being pretty young. Bet John would of done a cracking job

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Bens horse is super scopey though!

 

[Weezy]

I missed Cali

Poor Benjy has suddenly come up in a ferocious rash all over his upper body so I stuck him in the shower!

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Oh, nice round!

 

[little_flea]

Haha yes, thank god I am the boss... not setting a very good example!

 

[librauk]

good round

 

[Starbucks]

Ok - this SJ isconfusing me!!!! So what does this round count for??

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Yes and Ben is proving to be a brillant rider. Wasn't a big fan before the olympics but starting to convert.

 

[CrazyHippo1]

These first few are jumping for qualification to the individual final.

In a min it'll start the 2nd round of the team final for team medals

 

[little_flea]

I hope all you guys have some spare vibes for my team (Sweden) as well

Such a shame about Peppermill.

 

[lucretia]

i so hope the rest of team GB do well, they deserve it. no wonder nick missed the press conference, bet he knew then how likely it was there were only going to be three riders counting.

 

[Starbucks]

Thank you - so this is the team final and also aqualifier for the individual final??

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

Ok, I hope Britian get gold and Sweden Sliver.

 

[chestnut cob]

Is it on TV now??

 

[CrazyHippo1]

Yeh, for the individual they take the faults from fridays round, yesterdays round and todays. And the top 35 or so qualify for the individual final.

The teams carry forward faults from yesterday (GB on 16) and today the top 8 countries are back for the 2nd round to decide team medals.

Team riders continue to tally their own individual faults to see if they are in the top 35 for the individual

 

[lucretia]

ther is nothing in these team scores so sadly idont think anyone can get ecctied til the last riders go

 

[lucretia]

i just saw kit houghton by the side of the ring, perhaps he will put some shots on here for us.....

 

[Hovis_and_SidsMum]

That course looks huge!! I'm watching it on the link FMN posted. Or is it just that this rider is flattening a lot of it?

 

[Starbucks]

Thank you!! I understand now!

 

[Rachel_M]

Hey folks, just joined in as I overslept.

Have I missed anything interesting? Really bad rounds, fantastic rounds, etc?

 

[billyslad]

In my opinion Ben Maher is not only very talented but also sat on the best british horse out there

 

[Puppy]

Makes you think - Nick, Tim and Ben probably knew when they were riding yesterday that there would be no drop score, so riding under even more pressure!!

 

[DiablosGold]

Has anyone gone clear yet?
