Today 2pm Individual Showjumping. Come on Ben and Nick!

[Shadowdancing]

Do we think we can do it?

Maybe we can just squeak a medal. Tic Tac seems to be jumping better and better and Big Star is such a machine... just not quite all fallen into place for him.

 

[dixie]

its possible isn't it - so pleased they all start from a zero score again - it gives everyone a chance & our two are not that far off the pace.

 

[Shadowdancing]

Plus our guys got a rest on team medals final day... which might be a good thing...

 

[OLDGREYMARE]

No they didn't,they have had to jump every round.

 

[Shadowdancing]

Did they? Oh they jumped as individuals, is that right? Confused. ****** thought it was too good to be true lol

 

[OLDGREYMARE]

Yes that's correct.They have however jumped one less round than the horses who jumped off for the bronze medal. That could help.

True, and that was the Germans who had looked pretty good previously, and Canada... oh well we'll see

The link in case anyone like me was scrabbling about the BBC's utterly confusing website to find it...

[Tasha!]

Nooo I missed both brits
Got held up at the yard, icing my TB's freshly blown tendon -_-

 

[Honey08]

I'm watching it half an hour behind you on iplayer, so only just seen Nick Skelton jump, and wow he rode hard for that. Really well done.

 

[numptynoelle]

Ooh, I didn't realise they started on zero again :redface3:

Hooray for Nick, and fingers crossed that Ben gets through - Tic Tac does look super.

 

[Shadowdancing]

Canada and Brazil riders having a mare...

 

[Tasha!]

Not sure I think Ben really deserves to get through, he's not had a clear all competition has he?

 

[Shadowdancing]

Triple X, come on lad. Love to see him go well...

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Sure triple x just touched the water? Shame about that last pole

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I just happened to switch on to catch Nick. Fab round. Shame for Ben but I hope that Nick can get a medal again.

 

[ElleSkywalker]

OMG! Poor Meredith and what an honest horse :eek3:

 

[Shadowdancing]

Did she retire? Computer buffered!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Yes totally messed up the first, jumped the second then retired

 

[suffolkmare]

Its on BBC now...having to dip in & out and sadly I will miss the next round and have to catch up later, grrr, but pleased our riders doing well today!
