2024 USEF Medal Finals Watch Thread

Yep, I was just thinking “not again this year”!!ll!

Ok, I’m out. After a dozen riders, I haven’t seen one whole trip yet. Not even close. It’s too vexing for me. I’m hoping it will be better on the replay once that is up.

Have fun, everybody!

@MHM What a bummer. Sorry!

Thanks.

As I say, the replay might be fine after the fact, but it removes the whole “live” aspect from the live stream. Which is not exactly the concept. :roll_eyes:

Good grief, Kaitlyn Linck rides as TWELVE and she just laid that trip down. Sheesh. What am I doing with my life?

I didn’t get to see it, but thanks for the chuckle with that comment! Lol.

And then Henry Hollis comes in on a catch-ride he got to have 15 minutes on right before the course walk and rides a nice trip. Had to boogie a little to get to 8AB which will likely keep him off the standby later in the day. Good ride and good horse.

USEF & USHJA would do well having free reliable video for equestrian sports.
Ridiculous.
Elitist sport with crappy paid coverage.

Also did a 6 in the mandatory 7, which was a shame, but he rode that horse incredibly well for just getting on it 15 minutes ago.

I’m an amateur. I can’t count.

One thing I do appreciate about CMH is the interface- it’s convenient to have the order of go in the right panel and I love that it shows the horse name and breeding.

I’m one freeze or buffer away from quitting for the day. I don’t care how nice the interface is - it’s utterly worthless when they can’t manage to string together even 60 seconds of continuous stream.

So frustrated - I was really looking forward to watching today.

First lame horse of the day……chandler wilks. Lame behind :woman_facepalming:t2:

It’s not like whoever wrangles the tech doesn’t know by now that this is a big viewership day.

What about another browser? I hate to suggest that because, if you have to go back through the login / link to USEF account circus, it feels like a set-up for frustration.

ETA: scratching my Henry Hollis question… answered upthread. sad face

I’m sorry you and MHM are having such problems with it. It’s been completely fine for me all morning once I fixed my authentication issue. So frustrating not to be able to enjoy the class.

Different devices, different browsers, app, WiFi, cell service. Doesn’t seem to make a difference. It either freezes and gives me a playback error or loops the same 5 seconds of video.

LOL, I only count other people’s stride. I can barely remember a course anymore!

Yes, it’s handy to know exactly which ones I’m missing.

I’m a bit grumpy about the whole Clip My Horse thing today. The horse show I was supposed to attend in person got rained out, so I was really looking forward to being able to watch the whole class on the live stream.

Fair warning. If one of the posters who occasionally pipes up to cheerlead for the CMH service decides to chime in and say how great it is, I may go somewhat ballistic. Lol.

For those of you having difficulty, were there particular riders you wanted to watch where you’d appreciate a play by play? I’ve had a few years where the stream has glitched on one of our local kids and I’ve thrown a fit about it.

It’s so overpriced for what it is too. I keep thinking “this is worth about $25/yr at MOST” and it’s some crazy amount instead. Eugh.
