'The' WEG XC Thread! :)

[FFF]

Gutted for him and the horse crap

 

[doratheexplorer]

ooooo that was was horrid to watch paul jump that last jump - glad he retired... real shame for them...

 

[Weezy]

At least he could FEEL something was wrong, and it was a hind so more difficult to feel....unlike someone else we could mention.....

 

[Shrimp]

oh no he was going so well

 

[Puppy]

Disappointing that PT didn't pull up before that last fence....

 

[amage]

Why why why did paul jump one more fence???????? Poor horse

 

[3Beasties]

I didn't like the look of that Hope he's OK!

 

[carthorse]

Get off your horse ..

 

[brushingboots]

he really didn't look happy on the behind..

that came to my mind aswell Weezy...

 

[Weezy]

OMG why did he not pull up earlier

What do you mean? He felt the horse go off, trotting round to have a feel, the horse then looked back sound and obv felt so so he jumped, then he felt off again so he stopped. Absolutely NOTHING to crit Paul for on that one.

 

[ElphabaFae]

I did a double take when they said Gandalf The Grey....

 

[welshchick]

At least, he's not like that infamous rider...

 

[only_me]

I *think* he probably thought that it stepped on the hump of the hill or something - and gave benifit of doubt and jumped and then realised he was lame - looks like he has tweaked something

Horrid luck

 

[alwaysbroke]

Perhaps being part of a team just makes them push a little too much

Ugh, don't makes me grind my teeth at the thought of it...

I think others would aregue he did well to pull up when he did..

So gutted for him, such a great round!

[Gucci_b]

not that impresse with Paul T with Inonnothing... i was shouting at the t.v at him!!! to get off his chuffing horse...

 

[Caledonia]

What a desperate shame - but so glad he's pulled up.......

 

[carthorse]

All the way through we kapt saying there was something wrong with its hindleg .

 

[andraste]

That Italian is going to get time penalties...

Thats what I thought too ..

ETA: I did think that on one of the corners earlier he didnt look right (not sure if it was just me or the angle etc but he just didnt look right)

 

[welshchick]

Poor Paul, he didn't deserve that. I hope Inonothing is ok.

 

[Laafet]

I have to say I thought he took a few odd steps on the fence before and was surprised that he was allowed to jump that fence after he trotted the horse and it clearly showed it was holding the leg, fair enough he pulled up in the end but why did ground staff at that fence not do anything? They can see easier than him, was half expecting to see it go on landing - hope horse is ok.

 

[Weezy]

I am in love with Gandalf The Grey...

 

[alwaysbroke]

Liking Gandalf the Grey

 

[3Beasties]

ELP I can't read the blue writing very well either!

 

[doratheexplorer]

Im with Weezy on this one - PT had a look, had a trot, horse looked/felt ok for the trot jumped and then pulled up straight away - bad luck for them, hopefully nothing serious for Inonothing...
