And yet another slip.
This is getting silly.

Surely the stewards have a duty of care to report very bad ground. Nearly every horse is slipping on that one fence.

My friend's horse was still hunting at 25, and still fit happy and keen. He was ridiculously over excited the following year when we did a summer ride from kennels.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.
Forever Young is living up to his name, what a gorgeous horse.

They must be able to put some sand down?

Waffled a lot!
Other than the slippery corners, this course is working so well. Only a few have made the time, there are faults and errors here and there, but people are getting round.
I think it would be crazy not to try to make it safer. There are some inexperienced riders competing.

You’d hope. Imagine if a horse got injured.

You'd hope with the Olympics the fence judges are experienced... I know the volunteers wouldn't necessarily know the sport as well, but fence judges need a rake and a bucket of something I feel

Mine is incredibly lazy though!!
He yawns constantly when you’re tacking up and extravagantly yawns when you get home!!
Somehow always finds the energy to shy at that one blade of grass that’s a different colour to all the others!

I confused John Kyle with Spencer Sturmey, it’s Spencer I find irritating!

I'm not an experienced fence judge nor eventer but I would be saying and doing something.

Not to go off-topic but if you've got a horse that's yawning a lot when tacking up, that's unlikely to be laziness and much more likely to be them yawning as stress relief. I'd be questioning whether he's really comfortable being tacked up or being ridden out.

There's going to be a horse fall in the woods if they don't do something about the ground.

I didn't see Janelle's round but the commentators seem to have a bee in their bonnet about it

Another stumble but got though the first slip spot okay I wonder if everyone has passed back to avoid the right hand side of it as much as possible

Waffled a lot!
Sorry - what time is Laura? About 11.40? I’ve got to open my cafe at 12 and am trying to work out if I set up before or after!

I would hope that various team chef d’equipe’s would be marching on the ground jury as we speak.
By the time the later riders get there it’s going to be ridiculously dangerous.
