Just missed Ben due to BBC switching channels with no warning

 

[piebaldproblems]

God this is awful for my heart. Too many brilliant rides!

 

[DabDab]

Recently I got stuck being preeched at the owners of a well known stud company about how barefoot will never be seen at top comps because SJ horses absolutely need studs on a surface. Lol, might pop by and ask them about the Swedes

 

[dixie]

Wow! What a ride from Ben.

 

[Bustermartin]

That will take some beating!

 

[NinjaPony]

My god! I was cheering all the way round! Just brilliant!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

And breathe.......

 

[Kat]

Christ that was amazing!

The angle over the oxer was incredible!!!!!!

I think he's got a minimum of bronze now

 

[HashRouge]

The commentator saying "Explosion W, I love him"!!!

 

[Kat]

I'd like to see this get silver behind Ben

 

[Bustermartin]

Silver at least

 

[milliepops]

silver at least!

 

[Kat]

Whoever is whistling should be chucked out.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Oh my.........

 

[DabDab]

...

 

[humblepie]

How tight was that turn to the big upright. Just lost time over the last two but it was close til then.

 

[HashRouge]

Oh god I can barely watch!!!

 

[piebaldproblems]

Shame for second barefoot horse, but those tight turns proved that barefoot horses can do everything a shod horse can and more.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

He's got to go for it hasn't he?

 

[Kat]

This is nailbiting!

We've got Ben and at least one of the Swedish barefooters on the podium. It just depends on this last one

 

[milliepops]

if this isn't an argument for more equestrian coverage on UK telly I don't know what is, medals in all 3 olympic disciplines

 

[DabDab]
