I think Will Coleman’s original horse was not right so he swapped to the other one, maybe similar reason that he has been replaced

The quote eventing nation has is that his second horse was going so well in training they felt he’d be the better option, only to start developing an abscess late last night.
Rotten luck really

Yeah just read that. I guess he wasn't able to swap back to Off the Record then. Very bad luckThe quote eventing nation has is that his second horse was going so well in training they felt he’d be the better option, only to start developing an abscess late last night.

Gutted for Will but equally delighted for Liz Halliday who had such rotten luck at Tokyo.
Question for the hivemind - Why aren't Olympic horses allowed their prefix/suffix in their names? It's apparently an Olympic rule so Cooley Nutcracker becomes Nutcracker. Bit of a blow for breeders!

I think it's linked to sponsorship. So no rider or athlete can display a logo that isn't an official Olympics sponsor. The advertising etc rights around the Olympics are very tight.

Poor man, he must be gutted.
These Olympic equestrian events have been a bit nerve wracking before they’ve even started!!

Viewing wise:
From what I remember from Tokyo the BBC had limited full coverage of the dressage and show jumping, and instead dipped in and out when things got exciting etc. The eventing may have a better chance, however it clashes with the first weekend of the rest of the Olympics so channel space will be limited. Your best bet is for £3.99 is to subscribe to Discovery+ for the month only (and you can cancel it straight away) for unlimited and uninterrupted Olympic coverage (I've already paid and cancelled so am ready to go!).
Also, I doubt the trot ups will be televised unlike other events, so don't panic if you can't find them!

Have you downloaded the ticket app? If it's like any other sporting event, the QR code won't appear until the morning of the event

Yes I've got the ticket app. Thank you so much. I thought I should have had the QR code by now but it makes sense to get it the morning of the event. Thank you for your help

Just in writing for trot up - there are tight rules about videoing what happens on Olympic sites, basically has to be OBS or nothing for formal parts of any sport.
Hahahaha, just hope my big boss doesn't find out I've been multi-tasking, though did spend most of a meeting today comparing what we'll be watching
Reminder that dressage starts at 8.30 UK time Saturday, hoping I surface before Tom's test

Oh FFS anyone else struggling with the Discovery+ stream? All pixilated 
I can seemingly watch other sports live without this issue, and it’s also messed up on my phone so not just the tv app
