Tokyo Eventing Cross Country

[SOS]

Not important but loving the all white horse and rider and tan brown boots combo

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Ouchie, sawing

Tbf isn't Oli the only one clear inside the time? They said the Swiss rider had a pin.

Think Shane Rose was too.

 

[Nicnac]

Why all the dissing of Lucinda? I think she's great.

 

[teapot]

No, one Aussie was too!

live results are showing Shane Rose inside the time

 

[TPO]

Think Shane Rose was too.

And I *think* Shane took a long route too

Would you mind linking to those again please? I can’t find the post!

I think they said 16 the dark bay doesn’t have loads of experience and he’s struggling with the questions. What a good horse to keep trying even with his ears pinned back

 

[Wishfilly]

Why all the dissing of Lucinda? I think she's great.

She said some pretty mad things during the dressage, to be honest.

 

[DabDab]

That Belarus horse does not look happy

not read all the comments but getting fed up of all the filming of horses galloping and not jumping. We want see the jumps!

Her commentating on dressage, eventing dressage and now xc hasnt been great IMO. At some points what she has been saying has been flat out wrong

I cant believe how bad Lucinda is. She is really disappointing

I've spent far too much time listening to Lucinda this week! Slowly learnt to zone her out ?

had an eye roller yesterday when she was misinforming people about the glove colour rules

Nice, honest interview from Alex on BBC about how his horse lasted well for about 6 mins and then just tired a bit, but is fine and barging people over in the stables now ?

 

[Nicnac]

She said some pretty mad things during the dressage, to be honest.

She's mad as a box of frogs but always encouraging in her comments. Agree probably not best for pure dressage but very few as knowledgeable when it comes to eventing

I'm liking how many different countries are taking part.

*me watching these riders gallop along during the “breaks” in the course*
*me also remembering I couldn’t stand in my stirrups for longer than 10 seconds today in walk out hacking after a few months of not riding*

This footage does not do justice to how fit our riders have to be too! Horses and riders are athletes.

 

[Lexi_]

Now that’s DEFINITELY a frangible pin penalty!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Loved Colleens horse

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Going to venture over quickly

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Lucky the pin went there!

 

[Denbob]

15 minute Laura Collett warning!

 

[Honey08]

I don’t think Jonelle went easy, she looked like she was going for it to me.

Did Kazu make the time?

Yes but much more difficult to stand in your stirrups in walk or trot than canter or gallop.
