The Event Riders Association twitter feed is the best one IMO. Chattier and more frequent updates than the others!

The NZL horse's tail looks really weird, looks like grease.

I don't think GB will be in the lead tonight. At the moment we're second, 12 points behind Germany and you'd think they'd be discarding Dirk's score.

I was thinking that too. Who wa son our team v our individuals?

Tina, William, Zara; and Harry still to go. Germans just have Sandra Auffarth to go who's in the lead after dressage.

Just Harry to go for the team, Nicola and Ollie are individuals

Very strange choice of team, I thought. Hopefully Harry will prove me wrong, but I thought he'd have been an individual.! With Nicola on the team.

I think Ingrid Klimke's score is controversial so the German team score isn't set in stone.

I haven't checked the live board, did they not include that crossing of tracks? These horses are looking to be coping better now or maybe it's the TB in them.

Ingrid is currently not showing a penalty. Wonder if they're going to review once completed?

It is a bit odd but maybe they thought that Harry's horse was more of a known quantity and was more certain to complete the course?
Has it been officially protested by any of the other nations?

I cant believe Ingrids not been penalised, it was a definite x of tracks for me

I wondered if it was because she withdrew Annie Clover at Badminton whereas Harry ran his?

Does anyone know what AB means on the live feed? I didn't see number 77.

I got the impression they wanted guaranteed cross country clears from the team horses with Olympic qualification in mind (need to finish top 6) and that's why Harry got the team slot. Gives us the chance to try out different combos at the Europeans next year if we get it out of the way now!

The live score page is saying Andreas Ostholt is eliminated, I think for crossing tracks? Fence 30's score on the live feed wasn't up for a while, perhaps there? He initially went into the scoreboard, now seems to be removed and a note above says latest rank eliminated.

I suppose Andreas Ostholt must have been eliminated for an error of course - he finished pretty quickly so it can't be much else. So either he missed a jump or they've decided he went wrong side of a flag.
Refusal for the last French team guy, good news for us as they are third atm

Pfft that's nothing. I stood behind him in the burger queue at Hambleden last year.
Seriously, yeah... I'm jealous

See now we won't see him because the French rider is on course!

I thought you can't get eliminated for crossing tracks? Isn't it a 20 penalties thing? If he's eliminated then it must be a missed fence or wrong side of the flags.
