Oh poor horse and poor Shane he looked gutted.

 

[Michen]

Also horse started off great, what a shame.

 

[humblepie]

Ouch for the Irish horse. That was a lovely round from Egypt, unlucky to have 8 faults but inside the time.

 

[SOS]

Only just tuned in. This ones mane and tail are soooo white

 

[Bradsmum]

Has there been a clear yet? It certainly is a big course though you'd expect that for the olympics. Edited : ok that's just been answered

Not yet
ETA theres two on just 1 time fault

 

[Equi]

I’m a bit behind but Shane’s round was awful. He should have retired two jumps before. Not impressed.

 

[NinjaPony]

Never thought I’d be relieved to hear Lucinda back on the commentary again but it’s all relative!

 

[SOS]

This Swedish horse is lovely, was class the other night too

 

[Bellaboo18]

First clear

 

[Michen]

I am so much more appreciative of eventing sj. I know it’s smaller but the horses look so much more relaxed and happy even the less talented/experienced ones.

 

[Kat]

Oh god I am in love with King Edward he is so classy! What a trier!

 

[Bellaboo18]

Not enjoying Laura's round!

 

[Bellaboo18]

And he should not be seen in a USA hat!! ??

 

[Kat]

Here's Holly

 

[Bellaboo18]

Nice round I thought

 

[NinjaPony]

Ah that’s a shame, didn’t look like a very easy round for her and she did a good job I think.

 

[Kadastorm]

Shame about those 4 faults but Holly is such a classy rider.

 

[Kat]

Oh dear that was a shame.

 

[humblepie]

That was really nicely ridden.

 

[Bradsmum]

That was a shame but still a good round by Holly

Oh poor horse and poor Shane he looked gutted.

lost a shoe apparently and was unbalanced after, I also wish they retired it didn't look right at all jumping, in fairness to Shane it may not have felt as bad as it looked

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Waves to all. Managed to catch Shane's round whilst at the ponies and Holly's when back home. I have to say I also fancy the Swedes for Gold

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Thank goodness we don't have that awful Richard!

I can’t imagine he wouldn’t have noticed his horse paddling through several fences and sending poles scattering everywhere.

This is “my” team ?? and I’m disgusted he didn’t retire. Who cares if it’s the Olympics?

Crikey it used to be the pure dressage I couldn’t bear to watch, but the SJ so far has been awful.

We all have so much sympathy for athletes who put their mental health first, and seemingly feck all compassion for these horses.

 

[Bellaboo18]

So after the first round of riders were in 8th ?

 

[Michen]

Thought Andres round was horrid too.

Yep- pure sj mostly is not nice to watch.

 

[Rowreach]

Well this just gets worse ?

 

[Bellaboo18]

Well I still love it.

This is leaving a nasty taste in my mouth.
