I really think it’s rust!!
A lot of the leaders are coming up soon. Should be very interesting to see how things change.
Sometimes this happens and then the pros come out and make it look easy!
Agreed. You can school as many things as you want at home, but nothing compares to actually running an 11 minute relentless course.
Exactly! And they haven’t been doing many CCIs at all. They are all learning a lot out there for sure.
Scrappy riding by Joe Meyer!
I slept in a little and just tuned in and am in shock at the amount of rider falls.
Sharon White is out there looking like an absolute boss, though.
Yikes. Looks like a good time to run out and grab the horses…
Is anyone else really nervous for ML and Kitty? I don’t want them to win, but given the carnage already, I feel like this could end badly.
Thought you couldn’t take a running start like that?
I am late to the conversation, but I thought WFP’s horse looked a bit tired just before he fell.
That was a nice ride through the combo at the lake for ML…
I have to admit that ML rode that technical water combo really, really nicely.
They’re looking much smoother than in years past. Less tugging.
Honestly I wouldn’t be mad if she won. She’s clearly riding to the occasion.
they look surprisingly good - no standing in the stirrups, hauling on the mouth, no flopping all over as she did a few years ago
Especially if they come home no blood. I’d be thrilled.
He wasn’t picking his front end up enough for sure. LOVE that horse too, reminds me so much of one my mares.
Agreed. I’m pleasantly surprised by her xc riding today and am a little more okay if she can pull out a win tomorrow. We need an American win!
F@#$ that brush! lol
Can you imagine if two US ladies took the top two?
