At FEI competitions, there are ā€œspecialā€ requests made and accommodated all the time. Show jumping practice at times not just before show jumping is one example. FEI stewards oversee any schooling both inside and outside the norm and must be scheduled. Harry Meade had done this before at an FEI event, that’s why he asked at this one. This sounds like a problem with ā€œwho’s in chargeā€ of activities and Harry paid for it.

If you friend has any sway in the way they film things going forward, really my only complaint was some of the shots in dressage. Yes yes, I get that zooming in on the horse’s feet might be ā€œartisticā€, but the judges aren’t just judging from the knees down :wink: there were more than a few stretchy circles in which the horse’s carriage was nowhere to be seen lol.

Seems like it was in the best interest of the horse and gives him 0 advantage in this case imo. His horse clearly was upset and he did have permission before flying across the ocean.

Obviously someone else cared, and the implication was that it was another competitor. Chances are the competitor was from the US. If it’s common at FEI events to allow an exception like the one Harry requested, apparently someone in this very experienced field didn’t know it.

Beware hitting the five article limit.

ETA: that it was another competitor who objected was an assumption on my part. If that was an incorrect assumption, my apologies.

I’m stuck in an endless loop on USEF Network of Jimi Hendrix playing over a series of cross country jumps. WTF is the live stream of show jumping???

TV coverage for locals starting now!

I cannot log into USEF at all.

It was fine this morning for the 3*

Same here. Seems the site has gone down?

Me too… not letting me log in

The site is down :frowning:

mine just connected

I’ll do my best to keep y’all posted - forgive spelling errors and hope my very rural internet keeps up!

Glad to know it’s not just me. I’m refreshing https://www.usef.org/network/coverage/2022maryland/ every so often, I’m sure they’ll get it sorted if it’s within their control.

It took awhile to load but my livestream is now working

I don’t see why it would bother another competitor at all.
