That’s incredible!

Anyone else having trouble with Horse and Country TV? I tried to sign up this morning for the monthly membership so that I can watch XC, and I am getting a 404 error message on two different browsers.
I’ve been having trouble with H&C since I signed up on Tuesday. Did you try downloading the app and signing up there?
Ugh no. I hate Apps. Hearing that you had trouble makes me not want to even bother paying the $9.99 to watch XC, if the livestream isn’t going to be reliable. 
I signed up and used it yesterday on my laptop. Not sure why it;s giving you trouble, I’m not the most tech savvy 
I’ve been a subscriber of H&C for a couple of years now, I have found the app to be a bit persnickety and irritating, but it does work most of the time and once I get the livestream running it seems to work well regardless of whether I’m on my laptop or the app on my phone.
Also can I just say that I absolutely ADORE watching Tami Smith ride. She sits so beautifully in the dressage and I could watch her on all her horses all day long.
She’s equally lovely over fences, but wow I love to see her ride.

Maui Baum is like a black Unicorn…so sleek and glittering in the sun. Such a pleasure to watch.

curious why the rider in the 3* with 6 rails is SJ hasn’t been given a CR yet? maybe it still will be applied. Is this a national rule and not FEI? or both?
Ian Stark just said on the Livestream it’s only a national rule.
No one sounded terribly confident about whether it’s true, but seems right based on the scoring

I think its National only. Seems like some riders are routinely getting 5 rails +.

Agreed! I also liked the different folks sitting in with her. Looking forward to XC!

Not specifically related to Carolina but I think it is a bad practice for riders to withdraw after stadium in order to do a combine test. The reason I think that is that when the start lists come out people expect to see riders X,Y and Z to compete. Then the field gets depleted before XC even starts.
I think riders should have to declare whether they are going to do that before the event and then let them compete in combine test division. That way spectators get to see what they actually expect to see.

Did the XC start time get pushed back to 10:00? That’s what I was told by horse and country TV. 
Anyone know anything about that?
I have not heard that it is delayed.
