Pom commentators ripping into Schrade here but that was a good ride. After the first ride they needed someone to get around with no issues. Everything he did was accurate and I don't think he could have gone much quicker.

 

[Flem274*]

Paget is meant to be on soon. His warm up will be ****ed.

 

[Flem274*]

Bugger. Delay must have got in his head.

 

[Flem274*]

I like this horse. Hopefully he can keep her gutsiness in hand. Very keen and quick with good feet.

 

[Flem274*]

Japan must never sell this mare.

 

[Flem274*]

This rider is a passenger. Never seen anything like it at above three star level.

The horse is wearing the pants.

Here comes Mary King.

 

[Flem274*]

Oh no.

You shunt. Set your horse up. She took off far too long.

 

[Flem274*]

She's going for it. Far from her peak, but she has the confidence and Cavalier has the arrogance to pull this off.

Another stoppage. Do they not have any exit lanes ffs?

 

[Flem274*]

Peternell could showjump this horse. It's not a quick round but he cleared the two walls in the stadium with ease at a sedate pace with impulsion.

Don't get all the penalties but enjoying watching the cross-country.

One poor sod destroyed the course - on now btw

 

[flibbertyjibber]

So where is your money then?

Germans for gold GB bronze

 

[Hurricane]

Wait what is happening? We are having team show jumping first and then later in the day we have the individuals jump? So the top riders have to jump twice? Am I confused

Minnows tend to fade away.

Would be an amazing choke for Germany to lose the gold.

Lioheart looked tired at the end yesterday, so Fox-Piitt will be interesting to watch from an English perspective.

Sweden the dark horses. XC is not their strength and they blitzed it.

Everyone left jumps for their team, then everyone outside the top 25 individuals is cut and they run the individual round at a higher height.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good start for GB with Fox-Pitt going clear.

Good start for GB with Fox-Pitt going clear.
