'The' WEG XC Thread! :)

[Puppy]

I am not an International event follower (obv. follow Team GB!) but (and this comes from someone who is NOT a Size 8 and has weight issues) but does anyone think Rebecca Holder is *ahem* not exactly athlete physique?
And I do NOT want a "fattist" thread or anything but - professional athlete?!

She *had* lost a lot of weight and (According to FEI ranking) has done incredibly well this season.... but it does look like she has put some back on... Has she been injured at all?

 

[Puppy]

I see Scotty still has a thing for greys!

Sensible chap

SpottedCat, take note!

 

[welshchick]

She checked her leg a few times. Is it injured?

 

[mil1212]

she's definately wonky

 

[welshchick]

She checked her leg a few times. Is it injured?

Now I think it was her watch!

 

[brushingboots]

i think she's riding very well although may have some knee problems for what i think as she is looking very one sided

 

[welshchick]

Yes, she got a couple of time penalties!

What a lovely horse Comet is.

Franks horse doesnt seem to like water

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Wooo, WFP still first after Becky Holder

 

[3Beasties]

Do they check the temperature of every horse straight away? Not noticed that before!

 

[brushingboots]

Did anyone think that courageous comet limped a little when they were washing him off?

 

[swanny]

That was close, WFP still leading

Has Andrew Nicholson been yet?

William 1st, Pippa 3rd, Piggy 3rd, Tina unluckily crossed tracks on a crackin' round. Germans, who were leaders overnight done pants generally. Forum members very, ahem, sorry about this... Other strong combinations to come..

Thanks so much Honey08!

I'm all psyched up for Mary's round - can't wait!

Will they be showing the SJ tomorrow?

 

[welshchick]

I actually think Becky rode very well, despite not looking totally right. I'd love to ride Comet!

 

[brushingboots]

Frank Ostholt has had a rotten round..such a shame as i think he is a very top class rider..

 

[lindsayH]

Andrew is last to go I think.

 

[teapot]

Mary soon, mary soon, mary soon *bounces*

 

[welshchick]

Has Andrew Nicholson been yet?

Nope, he's the very last rider to start!

Horse really doesnt seem to want to listen at times, not making it easy for him

 

[brushingboots]

Didn't Duarte Sebra have that dappled grey Mary now has? whats its name... Fernhill something..

 

[swanny]

Has Andrew Nicholson been yet?

Think he is last to go as he was last to do dressage yesterday

 

[Caledonia]

They check their temp and heart as soon as they stop, and then again after approx 5 mins.

 

[welshchick]

Mary soon, mary soon, mary soon *bounces*

My heart is going to beat very fast!

 

[lindsayH]

Frank Ostholt has had a rotten round..such a shame as i think he is a very top class rider..

Me too.

 

[alwaysbroke]

Sharp intake of breathe at the 2nd to last

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

My heart is going to beat very fast!

Mine too - Mary so deserves a cracking round!

 

[welshchick]

Didn't Duarte Sebra have that dappled grey Mary now has? whats its name... Fernhill something..

Yep, his name is Fernhill Urco. He last ran at Chatsworth at the end of the spring. Is he injured?

 

[brushingboots]

Duarte is looking very class coming up to the normandy..and over the normandy for that matter.
