Amazing Puissance win for Mr Blue Sky. Fab second for Mark Edwards and the best canter goes to the Irish horse.
Me Blue Sky is sooooooo cool! I’ve never known (or remembered) a horse last so long and be so consistent in Puissance classes.

Really loved the fiesty little stally too and the other big grey looked so comfortable. Amazing class!

Becky Moody's horse was doing fancy dress a few weeks ago - pics on her fb page. What a horse!
I was lucky enough to see that at a BD North display during junior camp, Halloween weekend so the display riders were in fancy dress. She rode her GP freestyle dressed as a spider complete with a costume with 8 legs bouncing on his bum 🤣. What a treat for us all to see her practise for London.

I know I'm biased as I'm volunteering at the Show this year, but I'm really enjoying the displays.

In particular, the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery with their gun carriages - they have updated their music which is great, and yesterday the whole crowd were cheering along to their display. Lovely to see so many of the women riders as well in the display.

I also love watching the Pride of Portugal Lusitano Display - the beautiful horses and great horsemanship. 😊

Loved it!! Even my 5 year old son sat and watched it and seemed to really enjoy it. He now expects that level of jump from our baby cob when she is under saddle! :eek:

Loved the puissance last night.
Mr Blue Sky is just the best and jumping the wall in the forth round mid poop - what a legend.
The commentators were saying Guy got his run up wrong and I said to OH - "Blue Sky's having a poo!!!" You could see it hit the wall when they showed his jump from up to the fence.
I thought it was great.
Looking forward to watching the whole last night on Monday if I can get home early enough.

The puissance was wonderful! Mr Bluesky is such a legend, makes it look so easy!

I thought Mark Edwards and his horse were great, a well deserved second, and Geoff Curran is such a beautiful rider.
I was at a show this summer on hard ground on bit of a slope and Mark Edwards had the entire entry of horses in the Foxhunter. His horses were all so well balanced made nothing of the slope whereas some in other classes made it look hard work.

I have to be honest, I think what I saw of Becky's test, it was better than Charlotte's this time.
I love Charlotte and Imhotep, and it was a lovely, correct and nice picture, but I don't think their test was an 89.. I think her name got her 6-10 of those marks.
Jaeger was my fave horse of the night I think, you know he's just good fun to have around and the music suited him to a T.
