Seriously, the Germans aren't having a good day!

 

[vallin]

GEEZ! that's got to suck!

 

[ElphabaFae]

omg poor girl!

 

[riaseed007]

OMG I can't believe it!

 

[FigJam]

Simone! Commentators's jinx Mr Tucker?!

 

[MistletoeMegan]

Bloody hell!

 

[brushingboots]

Oh Poppycock! That was a shame..

 

[TheMule]

And there you go, wreckless German riding fails again.
Again, rider deserved

 

[Bustermartin]

Sorry - really glad the horse is OK - but she was asking for it....

 

[dressage_diva]

She so deserved that, sorry but she was just letting him get so flat and she wasn't setting him up at all. She almost did exactly the same thing as Dirk as the previous fence.

 

[Hels_Bells]

What a horse. I think she let him down there. Or maybe she just didn't have the strenght left to rein him in.

 

[Shrimp]

oh my word! The germans aren't having much luck!

 

[amage]

Those Alltech tables in a one stride double may take a tired horse....alot of them are jumping it by Braille! and yikes Simone at the last fence....he had saved her one time too many!

 

[Nic]

Glad they're both on their feet. Commentators curse indeed!

 

[only_me]

I feel so so sorry for her - what an awful thing to happen

 

[Weezy]

Indeed, I was just writing that she was lucky to get round still standing and then she fell. Completely her fault.

 

[brushingboots]

How old is Free and Easy?

 

[lizzie_liz]

Based on the round she was lucky to get to the last fence without an incidence and it was only a matter of time before they came stuck. She is lucky the fall wasnt more serious based on some of the speed she was going into the fences.

Not a good start for Germany but gives Britain a better chance!

 

[monkeybum13]

You can tell it's in America by looking at the stewards

 

[Caledonia]

WTF are the German's playing at!!! Two partnerships very lucky to be walking away .......

 

[MistletoeMegan]

The horse is superb though, if he listens to his rider more and is given a bit more help in the later stages (tbf to his rider, she's not a pro and she's still young so in time I think this will come) then he could be a star.

 

[only_me]

They really need to remember to respect the last few fences! only my view, of course

But what a horse - I love free easy!

 

[3Beasties]

I gasped as she jumped the fence Dirk fell at, she looked so reckless toward the end!

 

[lindsayH]

Urgh, I've only been at the yard for 20 minutes, can't believe how much I've missed!

 

[brushingboots]

Viktoria Carleback is riding very well..horse looking slightly laboured and i think she is riding very sympathetically

Too casual with his front legs for me, undeniably scopey though

 

[3Beasties]

He said it, he said it!!!

 

[Weezy]

Bugger it, am going to have to go to yard and miss WFP. See you all in about 40 mins, I expect a full run down when I return, someone take notes!!!!!

 

[brushingboots]

Well done Viktoria!

 

[only_me]

what did he say? I missed it!
