Loving this course much more than the Tokyo Olympics. It’s beautiful, grand and much less twisty. So nice to see big, supportive crowds and all the different flags.

Forever Young Wundermaske, the 21 year old, is on the course and looking happy to be out.

That ground is really causing issues the horses can’t get their feet in time. They need to complain

To put it into perspective (although I’m not disagreeing it was a bit ugly and scrappy) -
Sometimes horses go green on you and completely drop you. Especially in the sort of atmosphere there is today. As a rider you have 2 realistic options. You pull up and come home or you make it happen in whatever way you can within the rules of the sport. It’s unsafe to do nothing. Stakes are high here guys. She did what she had to. It’s that grey area of the sport.

And always worse when you are riding in a team.

Speaking of team colours... Ecuadorian flag is mostly yellow and red and yet he's in all blue?

Waffled a lot!
It’s a gorgeous place too. It must be à totally different experience for Laura, Tom and Ros. But it wasn’t entirely Tokyo’s fault!
It’s incredible to hear that riders are no 1300+ in the world and at the Olympics!

21????!!!!!
The neddy I ride is 19 and is horrified if I go out for a hack for longer than an hour
He does look marvellous. He’s didn’t look 21.

Think the other end of the deer should have been the next fence

Think more people are going to be taking the left drop option as we go on, that ground past the right is not looking fun.

Forever Young's slipped up in the woods and run out. They really need to sort that ground out somehow.

That was entirely caused by that ground.
Poor forever young he didn’t deserve that.

He gave him a good ride through there, it was the ground that caused those 20 pens
