weg cross country!!

[Puppy]

Oh my word!! what is happening with this course?! Sooo many refusals!

 

[tigers_eye]

As an add on to everyone else's comments WELL DONE Clayton, and also Glengarrick - what a tremendous result from that little old horse!

 

[Santa_Claus]

indeed didn't realise horse was 20!!

 

[CastleMouse]

Yes, well done Glengarrick!

 

[madgirl]

wow that old blimy!!
i know loads of rerfusals or run outs!

 

[CastleMouse]

The Irish are not doing well, but very surprised that Sarah got round with only one refusal, as Kilcluny has only competed up to CCI 3* level

 

[Lobelia_Overhill]

Very interesting to see the faults spread out around the course, lots of unexpected refusals!

The Producer needed a slap - too much crowd, sky, buildings, a dung heap shots, and not enough of the horses! There were 3 riders on course at a time and we'd only get to see 2 of them!

 

[Santa_Claus]

well Germany are in Gold as i thought but they are a full 32 penalties in front of GB!!!!! then in bronze 15 penalties behind us are the USA with Austrailia hot on their heels!

 

[madgirl]

wasnt expecting tam to have a refusal!

 

[CastleMouse]

Yeah, one area of the course was a MESS!

 

[madgirl]

yup or the two andrews blimy
2 andrews william ingrid and kim all picked up 20 pens one after the other!

But we can't blame BBC for they were using whatever the germans were filming, so we should blame the german camera crew/producer

I think she had a refusal early on ..

 

[madgirl]

yer saw that didnt realise she had 2 and a load of time pens too!

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

Well that was an exciting last hour of footage wasnt it!!!

 

[madgirl]

yer was fab! totaly unexpected!!

 

[dieseldog]

At last - a world level event where the XC is actually influential and its not just a dressage event

 

[kayleigh_and_rocky]

My thoughts exactly!

 

[beckymed]

i thought the course was really good, it caused a lot of stops at different fences so the riders had to concentrate the whole way round
i do think that some of the horses may have not had enough runs before hand and therefore a bit fresh (eg tamarillo and cavy also master monach)
although i do think as path finder mary should have been told to go long at the water especially as cavy is known to be quite cheeky and run out
well done to all the riders and lets hope they all sj well tomorrow (and the germans dont!!!!!)

Agreed!!!
they've got a thing on the website asking some of the riders what they thought of the course(they've asked mostly the german riders, which is a bit silly since 4 of them are in the top 8, of course they probably like the course!)
wish they'd asked some of the riders who didn't make it round...
