Looks like the poor kid is crying on the sidelines… 
Between her and Lillie, I don’t know who should be more upset.

What happened? I was rebooting to get rid of the buffering ( and that didn’t work)[/QUOTE] Didn’t look like a bad distance at all, he just never rocked back.
Darkwave: It looked like she wanted to leave a stride out at a pretty large oxer and her horse wanted no part of that
Official Rules only have specifications if there is an accident preventing horse or rider from doing all 4 rounds. She should be able to continue. Obviously, she would be 4th in the event that no one else falls off.

This is what I saw too. I wouldn’t call it leaving a stride out, but it was definitely a move-up distance.
So good that Charlotte gets to keep going
Did anyone else think Michael’s horse looked a little slippery behind? Maybe the footing is slick (as was discussed a bit above this morning)? Wishing all the riders the best rides on their new mounts!!!
She carries on I believe, unless she or her horse is hurt-- the details are in the prize list. Obviously she will receive no score for that round but
Accidents before the start of Phase IV: If a Finalist or a horse is unable to participate for reasons of health, he/she will automatically
be replaced by the competitor placed 5th and so on.
Accidents to a competitor during Phase IV: A Finalist who has an accident during the Final is not replaced. However, his/her
horse must compete in all rounds with other Finalists.
Accidents to a horse during Phase IV: In the event of an accident to a horse during the first round, this round will be considered
null and void. The score will then be decided on three rounds instead of four. If a horse has an accident during his second
or third round, the rounds in which he has competed, except the first, are cancelled. The results are determined over three
rounds; the Finalist of the injured horse will not ride the horse which he/she would have had to ride to attempt his/her fourth
round. A Finalist thus retains the benefit of the round on his/her own horse. Each Finalist will therefore have ridden his/her
own horse and two others. If a horse has an accident during its fourth round, due to rider error, as determined by the judges,
the Finalist will be penalized accordingly and the score will be determined over the four rounds. If a horse has an accident during
its fourth round, through no fault of the rider, as determined by the judges, all rides
The overall winner is the rider with the highest total from all four rounds. Judged can use other round scores to break ties.
Theoretically, if all four of them have a fall/stop out then they would only be judged on their 3 scores.
Yes, she is continuing. If I were the first ride to go on Stallone, I’d be a little nervous riding up to that Swedish oxer again.

I’m with you. Mattias better get his leg on! But I do not envy him.

It was weird - the ride to the jump looked fine to me.[/QUOTE]
Same here! He just didn’t jump.

second
Stallone, you turkey
Stallone does not want to play anymore.
whoops
And a stop for Mattias and Stallone…
I think the winner will be whoever gets him around.
Looks like Stallone wants nothing to do with Phase IV
Whoa! Stallone VDL does not want to play -just stopped with Mattias too!
Looks like Stallone is determined to not count today. At least Charlotte’s chances are looking up now.
Wow that horse is not playing today. I think the winner is whoever gets Stallone around (the most fences) of the course!
