The Skewbald is my friend's horse

 

[TJP]

Just commented on your other post. He looks lovely

The Skewbald is my friend's horse

they seem to be showing him on camera a fair bit, quite a few nice sorts there (and a couple who look like they may give their riders an interesting time!)

also, yay to see Connic and Trinadad again

 

[3Beasties]

I was just admiring the Skewbald, more details about him please

 

[Happy Horse]

They didn't show him trot

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

lol at the announcer, 'now lets practise being silent' and 'collective intakes of breath'

 

[Bright_Spark]

Some really lovely horses there- totally in love with the two grey police horses though!

Nice to hear the commentator there has a sense of humour (practicing cheers, silence and 'collective gasps')

 

[Rowreach]

lol at the announcer, 'now lets practise being silent' and 'collective intakes of breath'

and "I hope we don't have as many moments of drama as we did yesterday" ... him and me both!!

I bet all the athletes are praying their horses go lame - the reserve horses are the very best of the bunch from yesterday!

Hoping the women show the blokes how it should be done.

 

[wellsat]

I can't see it yet. Any idea what time its coming on freeview?

 

[Rowreach]

Try eurovisionsports, much better coverage!

Some of those horses looked pretty hot on the trot up actually, some looked like quite a lot of horse and not exactly easy.

Its on a BBC olympics channel now, but they're showing the fencing bit.

We don't have those channels, just the normal ones. Our internet is too slow to watch it as well. The mountain biking is just finishing so hoping it will be on next.

 

[Rowreach]

The feed on eurovisionsports is much better than the beeb website, prob worth a try.

Do you think they'll scream this much when they are on the horses?

 

[BlairandAzria]

It's on the red button now! I only have normal freeview too!

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Does anyone else find it rather charming how everything is translated into 'pentathlon points'? Its like being back at school competing for house points!

eta first rider in the arena, like this chestnut mare

 

[Flame_]

Clever chestnut when the rider missed!

 

[TJP]

Honest wee horse

 

[3Beasties]

Lovely, honest horse

 

[gemin1eye]

what a lovely honest horse that first one was

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

some interesting lines there at the end, very honest horse!

 

[BellaBee]

What an honest horse. Seemed like the first rider kept crumpling to one side though?

 

[Happy Horse]

Oops! Bit unlucky.

 

[Flame_]

This girl can't ride this horse

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

rider fail there. Very polite of the horse to stop and wait for her though

 

[TJP]

Painful viewing

 

[3Beasties]

My fault that rider fell off, I jinxed it, told mum she was gonna be jumped off after seeing it over the 2nd fence!

 

[dafthoss]

Ekk the one thats just fallen off and nearly did again

 

[gemin1eye]

that round was a bit painful wasnt it!
