Not having it at the water.

 

[teapot]

Do we ever have full coverage of post finish vet checks and cool downs? I don't think it's a major issue personally

 

[airliner]

Oh man, the German commentator was not happy with the Polish rider there at the water! Rightfully so

 

[piebaldproblems]

How the hell did that polish rider qualify if he can jump a straightforward water option

I wonder if it's something to do with the horse. I seem to remember Jard withdrawing from other international events before/at the XC. Can't remember if they got through Tokyo.

 

[Parrotperson]

It would have been good for horsey PR!

That was my thought…..

 

[piebaldproblems]

To be fair to him, I'm glad that he withdrew than trying to smack the horse through the combo and then having to really push the horse the whole way round.

I tried casting from PC to tv but just got a black screen so watching on laptop.
I couldn't imagine watching more than one sport.

It’s exhausting I’ve athletes I coached as juniors competing and it’s my work sport so lots of personal interest

The problem he had was that he’s riding for the team. Guess he felt obliged to try again.

 

[airliner]

Yes Liz and Nutcracker! So smooth!

 

[Parrotperson]

Laura soon…….

 

[jenbleep]

OMG feel nervous Go on Laura!!!

 

[Michen]

Oh god here we go. I just don’t trust this horse!!!!!

 

[piebaldproblems]

[Honey08]

[Equi]

[Peregrine Falcon]

Stay safe and come home on 17.5 Laura

 

[Michen]

[Equi]

I’d have preferred him to say these are the pieces of metal riders use to communicate with their horses not control

 

[Parrotperson]

What’s his stable name???

 

[Slightlyconfused]

As I had to rewind by 8 minutes when I got home from the yard to watch Toms round, so you guys will be on Lauras before me keep me updated

 

[Michen]

This is unbearable lol.

 

[piebaldproblems]

I don't dare post anything about Laura and London in case I jinx something.

 

[Parrotperson]
