Badminton 2017 Cross-country

Well the EN LIve thread has clips of individual fences so I’m reading that and listening to the Badminton Radio from the website.

Hannah Sue has retired.

I’m looking at you, DOC. Our riders need a proper coach.

Oh, I hope Hoy’s grey is ok. Was walking funky on the right hind, though the clip was short.

Hate seeing our riders retire after 1 stop caused by bad decision making. She got super indecisive and confused the horse so bad.

Yes, rider error here for sure.

His boot had slipped down and was making him walk funny I think. Hopefully no injury.

Astier’s horse is SO honest and scopey. Wow.

His boot had fallen around his ankle and he wouldnt let Andrew take it off for a while.

Astier’s horse looking a bit tired now…a couple of funny jumps.

Ty about Andrew Hoy’s horse. He had to flip his whole pelvis back and forth over the jump and it looked like he could have gotten banged up. Glad it was just a boot.

Astier Nicolas 48 seconds over 60.7 pens.

Dan retires after a stop at the head of the lake

Nicola Wilson retired at the lake after giving what really looked to be a bad ride to several fences, but I don’t know the horse so I can’t really say.

Shane Rose on the floor

Was that Nicola Wilson who retired after a refusal?

Tina Cook so ecstatic over her horse – so nice to hear.

Shane Rose fell, horse racing away.

Loose horse!! Tough fall for the shane

Dan Jocelyn 1:12 over the time 85.3 pens.

Yay, this is working now! It wasn’t an hour ago!
