phew, can now go for my wee

Me too

 

[teapot]

I know there’s still the show jumping to go, but I hope those questioning Laura’s selection on the team are eating some hats right now

Yes and no, @Tiddlypom has summed up my thoughts!

 

[Parrotperson]

I thought this, but maybe it's this? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/ol...ners-sudden-death/YYSQU4JJ5NEMDOXZTVUOM4RISQ/

Oh god that’s awful.

Re the cooling being behind a fence, I read this in David Marlin’s Facebook page:

 

[MuddyMonster]

I've just googled, apparently JC's partner died this year. How very, very sad

 

[frazzled]

Clarke’s partner was found dead around new year. Very sad.

 

[ihatework]

I thought that yesterday, but maybe it's this? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/ol...ners-sudden-death/YYSQU4JJ5NEMDOXZTVUOM4RISQ/

Oh gosh I didn’t know that. Poor guy.

 

[Spotherisk]

well done to my OH who sorted Disco + at 11.35am perfect timing to see Laura!

 

[BBP]

There does seem to be a slight lag

If you have paused it at all, even for a few secs, it will start to drop you behind I think.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Looking good, but he has 15pens?

Missed flag at 5b. Why aren't you lot seeing that as commentators?

 

[Maxine67]

I haven't paused it at all, it does seem to be slightly out, only by seconds though

 

[teapot]

Pip's probably having kittens somewhere, come on Squirrel!

 

[piebaldproblems]

Looking good, but he has 15pens?

He's apparently picked them up at 5b.

 

[PolarSkye]

That is the most emotional I have ever been watching a cross country round . . . very well ridden Laura. Bit of a breather before both Herr Jung and Ros. My goodness.

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Well done London and Laura!!!!!!!. He definitely lacks the stamina of some of the others doesn’t he. Looked hard work for him towards the end.

I was worried about this course for him as he is such a big horse, esp in the woods.

She rode a brilliant roun for him

Oh ok, I’m about 4mins behind as I hadn’t clocked that I had paused it for a bit, I assumed it would jump back to the live image.

You can fast forward back to live. I rewound to look at the German fall then went back to live.

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

Even if you jump forward again, I think there is at least a 30sec delay between scoresheet and live pictures.

 

[teapot]

Well done Yoshi!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Great round by Youshi

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

You can fast forward back to live. I rewound to look at the German fall then went back to live.

I missed that too but didn't rewind because I found it awkward to move around.

Did horse and rider both get up okay?

 

[Mimsyborogrove]

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.

I think they are. Appalling if so.

No . The report teapot referenced above about his partner is what the commentator is referring to.

 

[fidleyspromise]

I missed that too but didn't rewind because I found it awkward to move around.

Did horse and rider both get up okay?

Yes they were both up straight away and walked away

 

[Parrotperson]

Yeh defo put sand down on that jump in the woods. The ground level is higher now. Good. Riding better too.

 

[Michen]

Thrilled for yoshi

 

[jenbleep]

I missed that too but didn't rewind because I found it awkward to move around.

Did horse and rider both get up okay?

Yeah both walked away unscathed

 

[Parrotperson]

I missed that too but didn't rewind because I found it awkward to move around.

Did horse and rider both get up okay?

Yes. It wasn’t a nasty fall.

 

[jenbleep]

The support for the French does sound great Must be such a thrill. If your horse is OK with it

 

[Kat]

I know there’s still the show jumping to go, but I hope those questioning Laura’s selection on the team are eating some hats right now

I wasn't sure about taking Laura rather than Yas but it was a flawless round.

 

[piebaldproblems]

I really fancy that French grey, classy little horse.
