Great minds Teapot

 

[gemin1eye]

what a beautiful horse that grey is!

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

this grey looks gorgeous, although does seem to be singularly lacking in brakes!

 

[teapot]

Well re the rearing one, someone posted on the men's pent thread last night that it had reared with another rider in the warm up...

 

[Theocat]

Lovely grey!

 

[Flame_]

LOL at that girl on the grey getting carted. Fair play to her for managing to keep steering it!

 

[teapot]

Me too! Looks like Beannies horse isn't going.

Rubbish

 

[FfionWinnie]

And yanky hands.

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

another lovely grey with the Italian

 

[FluffyFeathers]

Lmao (not that I'm an expert) but Ive got my old and very stern riding instructors voice in my head willing the riders to "sit up", "heels down", "sit back", "use your breaks", "steady".

 

[Theocat]

I wish some of the riders would sort their hair out, though

 

[redmone]

Call me sick, but I'm loving the terrified looks on the riders faces!!!

 

[Suzie86]

KICK WOMAN!!

 

[Archiepoo]

how is such a poor standard of riding allowed? my OH just came in and asked if this was para riding- no theyre better than this shambles!! poor honest horses

 

[Dave282B]

Another kind horse helping the jockey - no fault to the grey

 

[Flame_]

This girl's a lovely rider. Quite unlucky but nice to the horse

 

[FluffyFeathers]

Horses certainly know their job better than the riders

 

[FestiveBoomBoom]

How big are the fences?

 

[Suzie86]

It would have been nicer to the horse to get a decent canter as opposed to almost grinding to a halt though

 

[Happy Horse]

I like this grey a lot too!

 

[teapot]

They have to have their riding certified before competing internationally - it's in the rules.

And as I said yesterday, 20mins to warm an unknown horse up, with only 5 practice jumps, in an arena of that scale, those crowds, cameras, spooky fences that caused issues for the actual Olympic riders and a course between 1m/1m20. They're not doing THAT badly given that they're are pentathletes and not true riders...

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

lol at coronado sun (another gorgeous grey!) sticking his tongue out

 

[redmone]

Oooooo loving this horse!!! Colorados son? Mmmmm lovely!! Fences are 1m to 1.2m.

 

[FfionWinnie]

Whoopsi out of control!

 

[ester]

just realised my stream wasn't live hence why your comments didn't quite fit

 

[christine48]

Lovely horse, bit out of control though

 

[Happy Horse]

This is a bit scarey!

 

[FfionWinnie]

Haven't seen one give with their hands yet.

 

[BellaBee]

I'm a minute or two behind live too. But looks like the grey with its tongue out is going to give one of our Brits a fun ride!

These horses look sharper than yesterdays!
