BBC has stopped broadcasting it for the last 15 mins. I hope that horse was okay as BBC stopped the stream when riders were held on course, makes me worry!

Does anyone know if that lame horse was pts or not? Usually horse ambulance is more down that road than not..
I can't find any information on it.

commentary on sky 450 said it was a damaged fence that caused the stop, no mention of any horse tragedy.

They did say it 'could be' a damaged fence I heard. Probably was that! Still want to know what happened to the injured one!

I wonder how effective a shaken bucket of pony nuts is for enticing a loose horse over?! BBC have nicely cut the stream again in favour of sailing videos grrrr don't want to miss Mary!

Watching on bbc red button but doing my head in - every rider is "very experienced" according to mike tucker - well of course they are, they are riding in the olympics for goodness sake! And now competition delayed again with no explanation - missing most of the action, just seem to be concentrating on the first few and last three jumps. Or am I just being grouchy 'cos I'm not there?

Dunlin

Not at all, I've only seen the water jumps 3 times so far and hardly anything else inbetwen the first and last 3 fences, poor coverage imo and sick of them cutting it off every 5 seconds and missing the action!
