yep, love watching xc when it's like this, horses seem to be on rails, riders communicating via telepathy!

 

[Nayumi1]

Loving watching Burto

 

[Honey08]

Yes i was thinking it wasn't a smooth course, but William and Chris making it look smooth. pure WFP class riding. That horse is awesome.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Great round by William

 

[Denbob]

(i'm being dragged away for lunch, will be watching on catch up!)

 

[Bustermartin]

Brilliant round by WFP - young horse, and made it look easy - whilst still getting the fastest time so far

 

[BallyJ]

It’s making very enjoyable watching!

 

[Ambers Echo]

Burton does not look fast but must be riding great lines.

 

[sasquatch]

What a beautiful round for William.

I LOVE that French horse! What beautiful markings

 

[milliepops]

Oh super neat from Chris still at the quarry, his horse looks full of beans even at this late stage.

Lovely round from WFP!

I do enjoy watching Burto. He’s in my Good Hands Club of favourite riders 😄

Still not sure about how much I like this course though. WFP and Chris Burton can make anything look easy. It’ll be interesting to see how some of the other riders do.

 

[Honey08]

Its still running well and covering the ground.. Bang on the time! Superb ride.

 

[milliepops]

amazing riding from Christopher Burton, that's just awesome.

 

[Ambers Echo]

What a time!!!!

 

[scats]

Christopher Burton! What a round!

 

[Ambers Echo]

0.00 - Wow!!! That's impressive

 

[BallyJ]

That smile at the end from Christopher!

 

[milliepops]

William is a natural in front of the camera, isn't he!

 

[DiNozzo]

I love William <3

 

[TPO]

Nicola is flying!!

 

[Ambers Echo]

Go Nicola. She taught me recently and was so lovely!!

 

[Honey08]

Bulana's flying!

 

[BallyJ]

William is a natural in front of the camera, isn't he!

So are his children! Lovely family

 

[milliepops]

Clearly a horse that likes the job!

 

[SpringArising]

It was so sweet when WFP's kids said how proud they were of him. I need to stop welling up at everything!

 

[Honey08]

Nicola's arms are going to be longer by the end of this.

 

[Lexi_]

Bulana is a thrill to watch but looks bloody terrifying to ride!

 

[milliepops]

Bulana is a thrill to watch but looks bloody terrifying to ride!
