'The' WEG XC Thread! :)

Hi, sorry just come in so apologies if this has been asked before.

I'm watching on the BBC website (assuming that the red button isn't happening?) but I've got no sound. Does everyone else have sound?

Yeah - not such a great move for PT - but he must be so pumped full of adrenaline - who knows what goes through the riders minds... but its a shame not everyone can be as quick and caring as Andrew Nicholson at Batminton 2009 (i think it was AN - in the arena, horse got a front leg stuck...)

Glad I was not the only one - whatever to those who think I'm wrong, I really do think ground jury should have pulled when the horse clearly showed lame steps, nothing to do with what I think of PT (I actually like him).

I agree... someone should have pulled him up, he felt something was wrong and still jumped his horse... and then rode the horse back to the stables...

I agree with you. Horse was not happy....he was having to constantly kick him between the previous two fences and was really pushing on. Whatever about jumping a level fence if you are not 100% sure but why jump onto a sharp drop with a steep incline to the next fence which would put more pressure onto the hind end???? I like PT alot but he should have pulled up before chancing that last jump and when he did pull up should have got off
 
PT dotes on Inonothing and I am positive he wouldn't have jumped if he did not think, right then, that it was OK. Remember we can see a damn lot more than the ground jury and the rider!
 
Pippa Funnell and Mary King both have a thing for big horses, so I wouldn't be surprised if they said they would love to ride the French horse!
