Glad to see Buck is in the tack after his fall at Burghley.
I guess he wasn’t injured per the rumour I saw on FB. Good to hear!

Bugger, XC clashes with the rugby. Never thought I’d say this, but rugby wins this one.
anyone else watching live?
I just started watching.
Missed Katherine Coleman’s ride, but her fast clear has shot her close to the top of the leaderboard.
Buck’s first horse was retired at approx 10th fence, but scores don’t show a refusal, only that he retired. I wonder what happened.

Based on recent penalties - I wouldn’t be surprised if Matt Heath gets a yellow.
Thanks to a 4:30am water main break on my street I was watching when Buck and Park Trader went. They only showed a few early fences and everything looked fine, then they cut away to a couple of British riders and next thing you knew there was an announcement that Buck had pulled up and retired. Hope they are ok!
From Eventing Nation:
It was a day of ups and downs for Buck Davidson, who pulled up the experienced Park Trader after he felt something slightly amiss in his stride. After further examination, some minor damage to his check ligament was discovered – though fortunately, nothing amiss with his tendon.
“He jumped one of the oxers beautifully, and then I landed and took a stride and thought, ‘hmm – that feels funny.’ And then another one, and that felt funny too,” he explains. “I know my horses – I’ve had them forever – and so I was like, ‘forget it.’ Luckily he didn’t hurt his tendon, so I’m thankful – I’ve done horses my whole life, so I was able to feel that. It’s so key to have the horses for a long time, and my aim is always to have them happy and sound. I have to admit I cried – and I haven’t cried in a long time. Thankfully, once we had the scan we knew he’d be fine.”

@jcraig10 thanks for the update, glad it is nothing more serious! I was wondering if Buck had felt something because everything looked to be going fine in the parts of the round that were shown on the livestream. Thank goodness he felt it and pulled up!!
Bravo Buck for being so tuned in.
Chris Burton and Clever Louis were really impressive in winning the 8-9 yr old competition: a pair worth watching. Lovely!
