Hairy!

 

[Kadastorm]

Think my stomach would have dropped through my pants if I was on that horse over the water ?

 

[Kat]

Yikes that was "interesting" over the water. Pony club kicks at this level ?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Lovely mare

 

[Kadastorm]

Love Killer Queen, what a sweetie ?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Will be interesting to see this horse come to the suma fence now.

 

[teapot]

Oh Lucinda don't ever change!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

That's a shame, nice jumping round

 

[piebaldproblems]

What a shame for the Spanish rider! Really looked like he'd have a clear round.

 

[NinjaPony]

Showjumping is such a heartbreaking sport really, you have to be so resilient to make a living out of it I think.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Looks more like a pony this grey

Oh dear.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Definitely wasn't Kiwi horse's day.

 

[Bellaboo18]

Good decision I'd say...

 

[Kadastorm]

Poor Katie, her little horse just not feeling it today.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Dantes bouncy

 

[piebaldproblems]

Isn't this a gelding..? Why is Lucinda talking about mares?

 

[Kadastorm]

apart from the napping, lovely round from the dutch and his little horse

Yes ???

The fences are just so beautiful. I keep seeing more detail in them.

 

[Kadastorm]

Love this gorgeous grey

 

[piebaldproblems]

Also was there a horse switch with this Belgian rider? On the FEI list, it says he's supposed to be riding a bay stallion.

Edit: ignore me was reading the wrong part of the list!

 

[Bellaboo18]

23 clears so far. Cian O'Connor is in 23rd place.

Anyone else on Discovery (computer) having an issue where audio and video are going out of sync? Keep hearing poles down before horse has even taken off.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Not at the moment

I've gone back to the tv as the laptop had a delay. Honestly all of this doesn't help stress levels does it?!!

 

[Kadastorm]

Such a shame for Laura.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Seems that the middle group of riders had the most clears? Feels like all these last riders are having a bad day.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Won't take Nick's crown

the first group were shocking, second have done really well and now the faults are coming again.
