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

[Honey08]

How does it work? Does everyone jump again or just the top section?

 

[teapot]

Top 20 jump again I think? Then any clears in that have a jump off I guess?

 

[Shadowdancing]

Unique is one word for him- yes we know he's doing something right but it's hard to watch!!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Unique is one word for him- yes we know he's doing something right but it's hard to watch!!

Painful to watch!

 

[Shadowdancing]

I am reliably told his horses are happy to jump for him but they never look that happy to me!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Got to go out, anyone know how I can record the rest?! Watching on blue button

 

[TheOldTrout]

Is the second fence meant to look like a boat? Trying to understand its shape...

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Ooo yay second round not till 5.30 I'll be back for that.

Yes I think it's a boat?!

 

[numptynoelle]

Yey, Nick and Ben both through :smile3:

 

[sasquatch]

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

I've only seen the past 15 mins of jumping, but oh no! her horse looked so brilliant and careful in the team competition.

I'm going to rewind during the break to see what happened

 

[Honey08]

Is the second fence meant to look like a boat? Trying to understand its shape...

Dunno! I wondered if it was meant to be an Olympic torch or something!! They could have gone a bit more Rio with the fences - had a couple of Christ the Redeemers holding a pole or a row of sugar loafs!

Best jump idea ever! Christ the Redeemers would hold a nice oxer up :biggrin3:

 

[teapot]

The water in the water trays looked too clean and not representative of the sailing waters. Maybe some fish, or some litter?

[Shadowdancing]

First Devision looks strong and so do Lamaze and Voyeur...

 

[TheOldTrout]

That course looks big.

 

[Shadowdancing]

Ben's in early Emerald not going. Fences all over here...

 

[TheOldTrout]

I think it's Ben now. it is!

 

[Shadowdancing]

Oh dear, that's not gone well...

 

[TheOldTrout]

The time's a bit on the tight side - several of them have had a time fault.

 

[Shadowdancing]

I'm actually starting to feel a bit ill, not sure the conditions today will suit us...

 

[sasquatch]

Verdi is absolutely gorgeous!

is the round after this jump off if there are clears/no clears but lots of people on same amount of faults?

 

[Shadowdancing]

Yeah there'd be a jump off then.

 

[Shadowdancing]

Here's Nick can't watch....

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Yasssssss

 

[TheOldTrout]

Here's Nick can't watch....

I grab a tight hold of some of the flab round my middle!

 

[Shadowdancing]

Yaaaaaaaaay!!

 

[teapot]

Now if fences can start falling over...

 

[TheOldTrout]

Our dog's looking at me like he thinks I'm a lunatic.

 

[Shadowdancing]

Now if fences can start falling over...

Got your wish once, long may it continue ha ha
