That was incredible!

Was traveling today. Have a subscribing membership to usef. Cannot get CMH tv to play replays. It keeps saying I need to upgrade and I see NO WAY to actually do so.

It’s letting me back in. I signed into USEF then into CMH, tapped on the USEF logo, scrolled down to the CCI5*L and it’s playing (subscribing as well.)

For those who missed Boyd’s comments post XC ride on Commando, at one point he was asked by the interviewer if he had heard the crowd cheering him on and he said (paraphrased):

I love crowds in the U.S.! In Britain everyone is wearing tweeds, and they golf clap. In the U.S. they really yell and scream, they’re half drunk, and they really cheer. It’s great!

Him saying the American crowds were half drunk really sealed the deal for me. Even my very non-horsey husband died laughing.

It was so funny.

Well, Kentucky is Bourbon country after all…

Good morning everyone! Pre-second inspection update:

  • Jarillo and Bronte Beach Z are withdrawn from the 5*
  • Baymax withdrawn from the 4*

Thanks for the update! Sad that they are withdrawn, but I do appreciate the (I assume) proactive focus on horse welfare the morning after such a hard run.

In other news, I was still thinking about Monica Spenser’s first jog outfit (especially the cape) so I went down the rabbit hole and found it… sadly, I quickly did the math to determine there’s no version of the universe where I can afford it :frowning:

it is sad he withdrew Jarillo. He was in the best position for Tim.

Where will the jog be shown live?
I do not see it on the USEF/CMH websites.

facebook I have Kentucky pulled up on FB and it should start soon!

The jog is usually streamed on FB/IG. I’m heading over there now so if anything wild happens I can post updates too (if there’s no stream).

I went to the Defender Facebook page and couldn’t find anything about it…? I probably don’t know where to look – thanks. (I’m never on Facebook.)

please post the link for people like me who struggle finding stuff on the internet
:slight_smile:

i found the defender kentucky page on facebook, but do not know where to find the jog link.

I am nervously looking. Nothing yet but this is where t was the other day.

Someone posted upthread and I just confirmed on the K3DE website that the jog got pushed back to 8. You’d think they would post that somewhere.
