One rail and time for Wabbit? Is that correct? Way to go!

I’m not watching or listening but checking scores.

yes, correct :smiley:

Who had Wabbit finishing ahead of nearly all of the North American contingent (sans Boyd)?!? I’m so happy for them!

Wow! Finishing on dressage score. Really impressive.

Gutted for Tim. I wanted him over Oliver for sure.

Agreed on both counts.

All of the North America based horses picked up a small check to help offset their astronomical expenses to compete there. :woman_shrugging: So that’s good at least. They all completed and were super competitive. I’m very happy for them! But I’m sure they all would have liked to see themselves a wee bit higher up the leaderboard.

Couldn’t agree more! Anyone but OT. His horse is special though.

What did Jennie just win? With the double audio I couldn’t catch it.

totally guessing, but maybe top placed Burghley first timer?

She won the best shod, possibly it was just being presented?

Olli’s success is another reminder that the competitors are just humans. Complicated, multi faceted, fallible people.

Humans really like to hold up successful athletes as heros and heroines, we have this deep desire to have someone to look up to.

That would be lovely!

The owners are cracking me up all super casually dressed.

No Defender given?

I just wonder what caused Thomas to smash through that jump. It was almost like he didn’t see it.
