The fence that interests me is the Maryland rails. There are not many upright fences in eventing these days and the gates at both Badminton and Burghley can cause problems. We shall see. It’s exciting to have a new course
How’s the weather for you all over there today?
Gorgeous morning, low 60s. Scattered Thunderstorms expected starting around 2pm
Fabulous! When does the 5* CC begin?
1:06! Of course there’s a chance of scattered but strong storms starting at 1…
That’s my ClydeX’s show name.
I’m so surprised CC doesn’t start until 9!! I’m sure I remember having earlier ride times than that.
5* times have been adjusted, first ride at 12:20
I was hoping they would do that!
Awful. I don’t know whether it’s possible to educate people about the proper use of the flash, that its purpose is not to crank the mouth closed. There should be rules against this kind of abuse.
Just catching up on dressage now. Surprised at Jonelle’s score, I thought it was definitely deserving of better than a 30.6!
She looked ready to run for sure especially toward the end
Alrighty. Here we go with the 3*!!
The tailgating spots look awesome! Did anyone here get one?
I’ve got the live stream https://www.usef.org/network/coverage/2021maryland/
Is there a link to live scoring ?
There are. The FEI has them in place and I think most national bodies now do. It was partly a response to pictures of nosebands as tight as Nick Gauntlet had that one. I do think it has become less common. The fit of bridles is a particular hobby horse of mine.
Elinor McPhail and Zick Zack just fell at the second to last fence. It looked like he was having a hard time getting up
ETA: Now there’s hold on course too.
He’s up
Thank goodness!
