this Dutch horse has some really nice flying changes. The changes on most of these rides look a lot better than they have in the past.

that Czec horse was just painful to watch.

Hmmm I just looked at the weather forecast for tomorrow, not good,

Italian horse eliminated?

what did I miss?

did they say so? I haven’t heard. But I am still half asleep.

is EN doing a live blog? If so I can’t find it. I just saw that new rules do not allow them to do a live blog!

it must be an equipment problem. Or they found blood in the horse’s mouth or something like that. So now, can they sub in their spare?

If the problem was blood (which I believe would fall under Abuse of Horse elimination), the sub may not replace the eliminated rider.

It apparently is blood in the mouth. EN is posting on FB.

Someone commented on this in the dressage forum, but the horses really do look much more relaxed here than in most stadiums I’ve seen.

Tamie Smith’s latest Insta post regarding the Will Coleman situation. Perhaps I’m just confused by her wording, but I don’t know what Will’s two horses being withdrawn at the eleventh hour has to do with her horse that she withdrew from consideration before the team was announced?

Depends on where the blood is from. Horse and Hound reporting the horse bit its tongue, has been examined and is fine.

Come on Liz!!!

I only tuned in about 30 mins ago (I basically wasn’t sleeping so I should have tuned in at 2:30AM when it started rather than trying to sleep unsuccessfully until 4) and the rides are looking lovely so far.

Liz is up now and then they are going to take a lunch break. Scout approved of Karl and Hot Bobo :wink:

Hopefully that will just count as an injury then and the sub can come in! If I understand EN’s guide correctly, they might receive 200 penalties for elimination instead of 20 for a substitution.

Liz is having a great ride!

Lovely test for Liz and Nutcracker! Looks like a 28 is what’s popping up. Great score for her and the team!
