Ben is riding so well, love this horse!

that's a great angle to watch the lake from, I prefer that to where they have had the camera so the horses were jumping out facing you.

 

[TPO]

Lovely to see so many riders going round with Willberrys on their backs. Ben is killing it!

I tear up every time I see a Willberry out there. I hope Hannah's family can find some comfort in it

 

[SpringArising]

Harelaw is looking a bit tired now.

 

[milliepops]

if you miss those skinny logs it's a massive timewaster faffing about to get back for a second go, isn't it.

Merel's horse is not helping her out here.

no and there would have been plenty more accuracy things like that to come so right decision made there, I think

 

[milliepops]

great round for ben there

 

[scats]

Well done Ben.

 

[Ambers Echo]

Awesome by Ben. What a round!! So my favourite 3 riders who all teach locally - Gemma T, Nicola W and Ben are all clear. I can begin to relax now!!

 

[BallyJ]

Very well done Ben and Wilberry!

 

[Honey08]

Brilliant to see Ben come home so well. Love that horse, hes like Mulry but with an extra gear.

Lovely round for Ben and Wiz Kid

 

[Shilasdair]

Ok, so who is going to horse rustle Harelaw Wizard for me?

 

[Honey08]

That was lucky at the lake! Thought she was going to be first dunk of the day!

Shils you cant have Wiz, its too cobby for you..

 

[SpringArising]

Lovely round for Ben and Wiz Kid

Oh was that Wiz Kid? Is he riding Harelaw later on? I'm sure I saw him in the dressage yesterday! Or is it the same horse?

But what will you do with the cob half of it 😱

 

[Steerpike]

Tina said her horse may have tied up, I hope it is ok, I don't do cross country but love following badminton and so far I am super impressed by Chris Burton's round it looked amazing with the horse jumping out of a good steady rhythm

Ouch - that fall looked painful for the horse.
