Thank you for providing the correct photo!

It wasn’t a corner. It was the basket fence.

They removed it because she was possibly seriously injured or dying imo and they can’t leave it in for liability reasons.

Now Emily King with a rotational at the same fence Ben Hobday fell at. That fence needs a better ground line. She was having an amazing round.

Christ, another down.

Yes, I corrected myself later. It looks like a corner from the angle on the viewing to me but I see now on the still photo that it’s a basket.

Every horse fall is a rotational neck cruncher. These are awful :sob:

Ugh. Yes and at least 3 if not all of the horse falls have been horses that are almost jumping too bold.

It looked to me like the horse just ran down to it as it was doing earlier on but being tired didn’t have the scope to get up and over

Score sheet shows a FOF for Lillian Heard. What is that?

Edit: fence analysis not score sheet

Fall on flat for Lillian. I think she was unseated and tried to hang on but came off well away from the fence.

~I wonder if someone meant to type FOR for Fall of Rider?~ The livestream showed her from a distance tipping off over the shoulder, the horse was standing.

ETA: answer is below, Fall on the Flat. I guess they considered it unrelated to the fence.

Ollie now shown top of leader board so they must have changed the decision after reviewing video. I did think that was a tough call as the hind legs did jump height of front of the jump.

Who just fell at the broken bridge? I didn’t catch the name.

I don’t think the jumps should cause the horse to fall if they aren’t being super careful, especially at the end. Maybe make them one inch shorter there or something. It’s not fun to watch or see all the horses falling.

Karl is up next

 good luck Karl and KICK ON!!! :canada: :canada: :canada:

Looking at the results, I don’t think there s any cause for complaint.
