Relaxed ears but poll's really not high enough in this Danish horse. Nice head on the horse though.

I had big plans to go out into town today; I'm still in my pjs watching

I have a plan. I’m not getting out of bed u til I see ros, then I’ll dash to the yard and dash back and get back into bed

She's not until 4.21pm if that helps? I need to do my food shopping between Laura and Ros!

Do you know where I can find the order of riders?

I've now downloaded the app on my phone so I can watch on the go

Thank you!

Does anyone else think that the eventers are all riding really well today? They seem to be really trying to look quiet and engaged. I am sure this is an attempt to show horse sport at its best - and I think it is working.

My friend asked to swap this morning (one does am, the other pm) I was more than happy to swap to the pm shift. I am still in nightwear and just watched the medal ceremony. I do need a wee but will dash after the next rider.

ooh Anglo-Arab

 

[misst]

I have to go and watch 7yo granddaughter have a riding lesson I don't think can tell her I'd rather watch this

 

[clinkerbuilt]

ooh Anglo-Arab

I feel like she could be ridden rather more softly, though

SAS56 - thanks for letting me know re Spencer Sturmey. I have heard the other guy on Euro SJ before - with all the commentating he does, you would think he would have learnt a bit and didn’t need to make some of the inane remarks that I hear from him.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Lovely moving horse here

Toms score in danger if this continues

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Good diagonal rein back

I was actually going to write something like that but stopped myself. At the beginning of today he was asking Spencer how they "tame" the horses! Talk about being deaf to the current goings on. He can be a little potty mouthed.

 

[jenbleep]

This is looking like a lovely test!

Jinxed it

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oh dear, shame

 

[ihatework]

Phew !! How unsporting of me

 

[Kadastorm]

Oh no shame for the lad as he was doing so well!

 

[Surbie]

Nice to hear a glowing review of working with CH.

I tried my hardest to swap shifts for today. Sadly unsuccessfully.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Nice that he just put a hand on her

I really question the wisdom of the People-in-Hedges positioning.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Carjatan acting like a double agent for the British!

 

[Equi]

It was going so well….

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Well that was a good score considering

 

[Janique]

I think Teapot deserve a gold medal !

Thank you so much for all this informations !

I understand your point but it does read funny
