Oh just give it to Sweden ?? that was lovely

 

[Kat]

OMG All in is AMAZING isn't he!?

Never had a pole at an Olympics - what a record, I hope he can keep it up. He made that look so easy.

Really hope Sweden get a team medal, they are in a class of their own.

 

[humblepie]

What a beautiful round by All In.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Beautiful round. They have to be the favourites now surely?

 

[Squeak]

Agree, Sweden certainly seem to deserve the gold. Really impressive performances so far.

 

[conniegirl]

Arrrggg! My ipad chose today of all days to stop charging and not tell me!
Its just died so not i’m reduced to watching on my phone!

 

[Kadastorm]

All In is just fabulous and what an achievement to have 2 medals to his name and (so far) never had a pole at the olympics! Sweden have been incredible this Olympics

 

[Snow Falcon]

Come on Ben, need a clear!

I wonder what that female rider who complained about Harry being picked even though she is a higher ranked rider is thinking now.

well quite. Harry has done v well but his inexperience has shown through plus the horse isn't quite up to it to me.

Still he'll use it as a learning experience and come back better.

 

[NinjaPony]

Nice round from Ben, shame about the pole but otherwise very solid.

does anyone know anything about this h & h rule about exceeding the free articles? how does it work? i couldnt read anything last month and now its a new month i still cant.....or does it mean i can never read the free articles? seems very odd that they decided to do this for the olympics

Same here, used to be able to go way back on news articles, cannot read any now......rather tight of them.

 

[Kat]

Well that was very uncharacteristic!

A shame as Ben and Explosion looked as though they were just out for a casual schooling round until then.

We're qualified anyway though and that is all that matters.

Bloody hell that was odd from Rodrigo Pessoa.......

HSI have done a great job of failing to acknowledge the fall and the previous fences, blaming the retirement on the lost shoe. Quite a few people are unimpressed.

 

[Nicnac]

Well at least GB have qualified but would take a miracle for them to medal with a 20 flt carry over score - it doesn't zero out for the teams.

I think my Belgian side may have to come to the forefront! Since I got rid of 1st husband, I can't claim Swedish nationality any more.....

Scores don't carry over, today's scores just decide the order to go. So it is all to play for tomorrow.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Love this mare

 

[Snow Falcon]

Smashing

 

[Bellaboo18]

Well we qualified. Let's hope we can leave a few more up tomorrow ?

Thanks for the company everyone.

Yes sorry misread an explanation article.

 

[Kadastorm]

See you tomorrow everyone! I really love the Swedish team and apart from the unlikely event of team GB getting it, I hope they get the gold.

so does that mean we can never read the news

Your guess is as good as mine ! I have not been able to access the news for some while now. You can pick up some British news on The Irish Field website and on their fb page, if you haven't come across it. Various other fb pages as well for news.

 

[splashgirl45]

i have been able to get any news i have wanted so h& h wont be getting any money from me as i hardly ever read it during the rest of the year. i suppose i must have read more than usual about the olympics

 

[milliepops]

so does that mean we can never read the news

it's been mentioned elsewhere that if you clear cookies etc it seems to reset. i can access it all on my phone fine.

 

[reynold]

As a print subscriber you should be able to access news for free - but you have to 'apply' for it by ringing the number for magazine subscriptions. Apparently I'd forgotten my password for the free online linked to my email address and it all got confused. In the end I had to ring the magazine direct and someone sorted it all out for me over the phone - but even then it was totally convoluted and confusing and I couldn't have sorted it out on my own.

If you aren't a print subscriber you have to pay £59 quid or so on special offer for the first year - rising to about £88 after the first year.

The print subscription is £116 for the whole year (when it's not on a special deal!!) so it's almost worthwhile to take the magazine subscription and get the online included.

If you don't pay either of these ways then from just before the Olympics you are restricted to 4 news items for free per month.

Just been catching up on Discovery. Really pleased we qualified over another tough SJ course. Is Scott Brash going to be subbed in for the Team Final or is he out?

His horse has a minor injury, he hasn't presented for the trot up so he can't be subbed in
