TV London I Horse Show

[Northern Hare]

The Show Jumping GP is running a bit late, but I'm sure it will be well worth the wait!

As a lucky volunteer, I've seen a lot of the SJ classes and all have been fantastic this year, especially the FEI World Cup yesterday.

I think I've also seen the Lusitanos, the Kings Troop RHA, the Shetland Pony Grand National and the dog agility about six times each, but I've not tired of them yet.

Ps. These fences are MASSIVE!

PPS. I've really enjoyed Jessica Kurten's commentary after each round, it's really interesting to hear her thoughts.

The jump off course seems very good

I’m not sure if they said but Tom Scudamore was on Kingswell Theatre seriously good racehorse. Jumped a cracking round.

Thomas started his life with us as a racehorse then moved south to Michael's. When he retired they kept him for Tom's daughters to ride. He is such a gentleman of a horse, always has been, always will be and very pretty to boot!

The Shetland Grand National has been a fix for years and years. Every kid wins a race there. The jockeys kids get to win the last one of the week. I haven't seen it but we're Graham Lee's kids riding? One would have been in Green silks with a yellow sash on and the other would have been in blue body and green sleeved silks.

Always have a bet with myself as to how long before Andy Austin gets a Cornet Oblinsky horse to mention. Under 30 minutes. Result.

Love Andy Austin and the other guys commentary

How lovely Tom's whole family get to enjoy him, what do they do with him do you know? Surprised he doesn't get invited to parade at meetings

I like Daniel's mare.

 

[southerncomfort]

Hello Valentino looked very unhappy in his mouth.

 

[LeneHorse]

Love Andy Austin and the other guys commentary

Yes but I do wish they would stop saying 'game on'

Wasn't Scott Brash's round fabulous?
I didn't notice his horse being particularly unhappy but I'm no expert.

 

[Snow Falcon]

I think Andy may need educating about the benefits of barefoot!

I think Andy may need educating about the benefits of barefoot!

When he said it takes lots of work and not just for saving money and I'm over here with my 3 barefoot like as I hardly do anything

He has done local parades at racecourses. He usually goes out show jumping and showing. Is in the top 10 of the Challenge Class at the RoR Champs every year too.

Julian's horse looks tiny

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

I think ear covers are ugly anyway but this one with the line down it is truly ghastly, yet I like the pad!

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

Not sure what mouthpiece but Marcus bridle looks lovely and plain, just a drop noseband and what looks a loose ring snaffle

 

[Snow Falcon]

Cracking round!

 

[LeneHorse]

Hello Valentino looked very unhappy in his mouth.

Had a better look at her in the jump off and yes, I think you're right. She is just young though so maybe it's partly excitement

 

[Snow Falcon]

Another great jump off.

So pleased for Daniel.

 

[Crazy_cat_lady]

The way the finale has regressed from real horses to stuffed ones

I'd have so wanted one of the stuffed ones as a child

 

[merry neddy man]

Intelligent riding by 4th & 5th to take home £10,750 and £7,525 instead of spoiling the horses

the tongue was out a lot.

 

[oldie48]

Not bothered by a horse sticking his tongue out, I've had one that used to stand in the field with his tongue hanging out. What I dislike is someone fitting a tight flash to keep the tongue in. Come to think of it OH sticks his tongue out when he's concentrating, not a great look but it's his habit.
