Drivetime is jumping very well and Emily's riding very nicely too!

 

[dieseldog]

Dutch, by Rolls Royce.

I wondered the same thing, so had a nosey!

 

[seabiscuit]

Anyone remember when drivetime was advertised in H&h several years ago? £25k he was- not that much really!

WB by Rolls Royce - Hannoverian

I wish the camerrmen on bikes would back off, they seem very close at some points.

 

[Kat_Bath]

Not sure if any of you will know but will the XC coverage be on iPlayer? Not sure if the red button stuff is? :/ I have to go to work in a minute

 

[jumptoit]

Emily is riding superbly now!

 

[clairel]

The french horse has one hell of a nose bleed!

 

[TinselRider]

Poor french horse looked like he had a nosebleed

 

[dieseldog]

Thanks, be interesting to see his time - although today isn't really about going fast. Littel Tiger was 2 secs over with a stop.

I was thinking, that to prepare a horse for Badminton nowadays, you must thave to go off up the gallops with a quad bike and get them used to it.
Especially after Pippa's outburst a few years ago

Happy Times is a dreadful Sjer. Won Saumur with 4 down. Happy Times is another pure WB.

Really? mind you, Boondoggle was on Horsequest last spring for £25k, i bet i'm not the only one wishing i could have bought him! Kitty's done a fab job though, and his sj isn't easy.

i am totally smitten with Drivetime, what a cracking horse.

 

[seabiscuit]

Yay- well done for Sam!!! He and Lucy will be delighted!!

 

[Grumbledor]

Just going to chip in as the commentators didn't say anything but is it just me or was that French horse bleeding at the end? Was suprised to see her still on the course, it seemed ages since that run out she had ??

 

[noggin667]

Thats a shame for Emily

 

[kirstyhen]

Oh, what a shame

Wonder why she retired?

 

[Murphy88]

Oh no, and she was going so well too!

 

[only_me]

retiring?!

 

[kerilli]

oh nooo, i jinxed Drivetime. such a shame, he was going really well and she was doing a great job.

 

[Ranyhyn]

Suprised she retired at that!

 

[TinselRider]

I noticed that aswell, looked to be bleeding quite a bit

 

[jumptoit]

Shame but perhaps she had doubts about a fence later on.

yes, it definitely had a nosebleed.

 

[Tizzy01]

Odd decision to retire??

 

[seabiscuit]

Arghh I think I jinxed it as well!!

I do think that was a rather ungenuine stop tho, anyone agree? Ok the rider was not in the right place but he couldve helped out.One could argue that was a 'warmblood moment' !!
