She was riding as an individual, I think. Nicholson and Paget are the other two team members.

Jiff is such a legend.
NZ team has been eliminated because 2 of their 4 riders have failed to compete - Lucy was an individual. I assume NZ still have 2 team riders to come and another individual.
I feel very sorry for Peter Flarup, apparently he was clear up to the last as well.

The weg website is great if you don't have it up. It has live updates of each horse on the course.

I don't like the repair to that fence!

That wouldn't really be fair on the multiple competitors who had penalties at that fence!

Its happened before though, especially after a fall that damages it, has happened at burghley etc. if they can't fix it it is safer to remove it

Well done camilla love her horse/pony - such a great combination!

But with such an influential fence at a major championship it would have caused an uproar to remove it.
I agree the repair looks a bit iffy though.

First thing I said to my hubby when they measured the pole to shore it up was hope that nobody lands on it!!

According to Eventing NZ - Tim Price was pulled up by the ground jury at the penultimate fence because the horse looked tired. How disappointing for Tim.

But the right thing to do maybe? The ground jury don't tend to pull people unless necessary

That is very disappointing
his horse must have looked incredibly tired though as most horses are finishing tired!Marydoll

Its a brave person on GJ that made that decision
EveningStar
Well-Known Member
No I would imagine not, we didn't get to see video of him at the end of the course so the horse must've been done
