Okay the rain wouldn’t let up, so we bailed and went back to the hotel. Is the stream working for anyone else?
It was working on my phone last night but isn’t now (because of course).
Re The 5* Grand Prix
The qualifier is a clear rounds advance to a jump off and there is regular prize money. Finish in the top 25 in that class to earn your spot in the 5* Grand Prix Saturday. Grand Prix Saturday is a clear round or lowest fault and ties advance to the jump off for its own prize money for the Saturday class.

I fell asleep and missed Boyd’s ride!
I had to login into CMH to get the fan membership to work. A USEF person walked me through the process yesterday
If you can pull up the stream now, you can go backwards and watch rides you missed

Ok thanks. I did have a login and password for CMH but was still giving me problems. I ended up changing my password and then was able to get it to work.
looking at CP’s horse’s mouth - it does appear to have more foam than most of the others. thinking back to the LN thread about something being put in CP horses mouths to get more foaming.

Wow - the rain driving in at about 8 am was god awful. I don’t think I’ve ever been so nervous behind the wheel.
Once at the park we were able to find shelter during the heavy rains no problem. We actually spent a fair amount of time at the pavilion by the Zoetis schooling complex watching the horses school in the rings. Kept us dry and it was neat to watch so many horses at once.
There was a horse schooling that REALLY stuck out. Horse was missing most of its tail hair, and rider was going around without a noseband. Any idea who that would be?
i’m having similar problems, though I was able to get on this morning – my laptop died after experiencing a battery drain all day yesterday; we don’t know whether it’s the plug or the battery so we’ve been switching these things out for the last day.
DH managed to get it to charge back up overnight, but after watching about 10 rides this morning, the battery started draining again and now we can’t get it to start back up. Incredibly frustrating because I wasn’t able to watch any of the rides yesterday afternoon with a dead laptop 
My daughter brought over a new Chromebook last night, charged that up overnight and booted it up, but without a password I’m browsing as “guest” – not sure whether or not that has anything to do with this?
I went on the USEF website and plugged in my membership number and password and it appears that I’m logged in (wonderful CS woman at USEF helped me out with this yesterday) - BUT when I try to watch the live feed, it redirects me to that goddamn Clip my Horse login page which requires an email and a password – and I’m not a member of Clip my horse!
I do have some choice words for them, though. 
I’ve called the USEF number six times today and it just goes to voicemail so they must be overwhelmed with callers. I left one message – unfortunately did not hang up the line so after my message they got to hear a BONUS bunch of profanity from me, but oh well. 
Is this happening to anyone else?
I need to get going so I can’t continue to call them every five minutes, but I’m afraid if there’s some problematic glitch, they close at 5:00 and then we are screwed for the rest of the weekend.

Werr you able to create a username and password for CMH without paying any extra money?? Maybe that’s something I can try.
Okay, WHEW!!
Went ahead and created an account with clip my horse with my email address and a new password, and I’m in without having to pay anything extra – thanks to the Gods and the COTHers!!!

Were they eventers or showjumpers? There was a showjumper in the Grand Prix qualifier last night that had almost no tail at all.

I bought an HP laptop almost two years ago, and I am fond of it BUT, the cord is braided, not silicone. I could see it was fraying, so I bought a replacement and sure enough it quit on me. I was glad I had the spare but it was almost 40$ for a crummy braided cord.
