Playing catch up, rather like Louise Harwood's horse - is the noseband just a narrow cavesson?

 

[Kaylum]

Imogen did well she is an amazing up and coming rider. Well worth a mention totally grass roots.

I think it's the myler combination bit with thin rope noseband

Fab round by Michael!

Michael's horse looks cheerful at the end

I wonder why they built so many brush fence options s for the second fence at the Nyetimber Heights? I dont think anyone has jumped anything but the middle one, which is obvious as its straighter and on the direct route. Not sure why anyone would pick any of the other alternatives?

 

[milliepops]

maybe it's just even more brain boggling with all those options. The hedge on the far right has the flags the other way round so I suppose you might jump the first or land differently and want to use that as a get-out-of-jail free option?

 

[Honey08]

Yes perhaps.

Tim Price not looking fast, but probably is.

 

[Nayumi1]

Hoping Tim gets a clear round this time

 

[Honey08]

Oliver is looking good too.

 

[milliepops]

yep it's looking like a neat ride for Oli.

 

[Honey08]

Its looking pretty fast too.

 

[milliepops]

suprised it wasn't faster when they did the split just now , considering he doesn't look to be wasting any time. it really is a very tight time this year isn't it.

 

[milliepops]

Time well judged by Tim... he was a bit lucky at times round the course, I think!

 

[Honey08]

Another bang on the time. Great for Tim..

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Perfect timing by Tim

 

[milliepops]

Oli's horse looks super fit.

 

[scats]

Really good ride for Oli.

 

[SpringArising]

Come on Tina.

 

[milliepops]

Wow he made up loads of time towards the end. Horse looks really good still!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Eek, that was so close

 

[Nayumi1]

Cracking ride by Oli

Hoping Tina goes well

 

[TPO]

Oops Tina lost her knitting

 

[Lexi_]

So pleased for Oli 😄

 

[Honey08]

Well done Oli. Rode well.

Come on Tina! Thats a real hack round the country to the alternative!

 

[SpringArising]

Oh balls!

 

[HashRouge]

Incredible ride by Ollie!

 

[milliepops]

that alternative looks like it's miles away but it takes quite a long time to circle the closer corner at the Mirage water - wonder what difference it makes.

Clare Balding has sounded quite flat today, hope she's okay.
