Isn't I grid always whizzing (scarey)?

Bit behind the thread but how impressive was WFP how he set the horse up for the Castle combination. Must go and do some work now. Enjoy the viewing.

 

[Laafet]

That was a very good save!

 

[khalswitz]

I'm just loving this - my adrenaline is going, never mind the riders!!

 

[Marydoll]

It was tat but 20 pens for x ing tracks

 

[EveningStar]

Come back Tim.....

She does have a history of that kind of thing

ETA: Tim Price walking home, Kiwis out of team competition

 

[mypegasus]

What's happened to Tim?

 

[Marydoll]

Eh, what happened to Tim

 

[Double_choc_lab]

Oh no NZ are out of it. I can feel some ribbing with our NZ instructor tomorrow

 

[Marydoll]

Well ridden Ingrid

 

[mypegasus]

Was he pulled up or did something happen?

 

[khalswitz]

Oh no! The Kiwis are out!

 

[Marydoll]

Escada really tiring now

 

[mypegasus]

Ingrid's refusal/crossing tracks appears to have been removed from the first water, they were there a minute ago, now gone???

 

[armchair_rider]

Was he pulled up or did something happen?

I think there was some kind of issue at the second last.

Ingrid Klimke home but quite slow. NW on course for GB individuals

 

[Marydoll]

Gooo Annie Clover and Nicola

 

[Marydoll]

I thought Ingrid x'd tracks

 

[mypegasus]

Ingrid now has a refusal given at 27, curious as to see what she ends up with?

When the commentators keep stating 'how honest the horse is' you know that they don't think much of the riding!

 

[nannubu]

Nicola Wilson's riding is super: her lower leg just does not move!

 

[only_me]

Had to go muck out, so have something done what happened tim price?

 

[nannubu]

Lovely to see Annie Clover's ears still pricked

 

[Marydoll]

Annie Clover and Beltane queen are such lovely horses, AC and Nicola rode that last water beautifully

 

[nannubu]

Amazing through that water - best I've seen through it. Well done Annie Clover

When the commentators keep stating 'how honest the horse is' you know that they don't think much of the riding!

Telling, I agree.

What surprises me is just how tired some of those horses are, and obviously so far from home. Would it be unrealistic to find horses, AT THAT LEVEL, to be super fit?

For all of that, I really fancy that mare Annie Clover. She can come and live with me tomorrow, and be pregnant, forever!

Alec.

 

[nannubu]

Fab - got goosebumps watching that round. Loved Nicola Wilson's extremely happy face at the end

 

[armchair_rider]

NW really does seem to be brilliant at producing horses for XC. For such a young horse Annie Clover seemed incredibly bold and smooth.
