Does it say anywhere which fence Ros is supposed to have picked up the penalties at?

You should still support a tired horse especially after the end. Dropping your reins risks horse stopping too quickly or even falling over.
Hate it when Harry Skelton does his stupid celebration after winning a race. Poor horse.

You’ve supported your horse the whole way around, then you drop that support. Abut like when you’ve been on crutches for a while then they’re suddenly not available.

Dropping the contact like that on a tired horse unbalances it and can cause a fall

Completely agree - and you're supposed to be a team so support your team mate please

Lara and Origi: gorgeous firey horse and very neat and quiet rider. A pair to watch in the future.

Doesn't look like we're getting those 15 pens dropped 
. That's annoying to say the least.

It can take ages to sort! Team GB has to formally appeal etc

Wow, what an exciting day! I’m glad that the course rode better than I had originally feared. Also glad that the bad footing was addressed but wish that it had been dealt with sooner!

Give it time - the GJ would be focused on the live action. All will be reviewed at end of play

Well this has been fun.
Hopefully that flag penalty will be removed.
Onwards to tomorrow.

I find it so ironic that the Olympics can inspire you to exercise/take up a new hobby etc and I've been sat on my arse for the last two days

Dare you to respond with ‘thank you so much for your very thoughtful invite, but on this occasion I must decline in favour of Olympic horse porn, best wishes Teapot’
