Just looked at her website and Oskar is Holsteiner - I bet the sire is this stallion but I can’t find anything on Nicole. Would not have clocked him as Holsteiner! https://www.horsetelex.com/horses/pedigree/88778/coriando
that refusal at the first fence … the rider was pulling all the way to the jump.
horsie said … u don’t want me to jump? ok i wont
Oh no, Lynn!!! 
This has been carnage today.
Then came to it again, horse BANKED the table, and then it sounds like retired at the next fence?
And Lynn came off? This is brutal, I can’t even keep up.
I did not see a single 5* rider twist their upper body back and forth to slow their horse down. but I’m seeing it a lot at this level. is their a connection between that and horses not wanting to go? I would think that sort of motion would throw a horse off balance. I have seen Marilyn Little ride like that in the past, but not today.

I wish we saw what happened. Leaderboard says she fell at 19C. Can’t remember which one that was… I thought they were looking really good, but Coolio looked pretty strong too.
Colleen Loach having quite a nice ride!

Wow. I stepped away after the 5* to go for a bike ride and just came back. What the h*** is happening out there?? Is the rain just making the going super slick and horses are sliding?

This is a bit of a generalization but I’m seeing mostly the younger riders picking to the base - I’d guess it’s a combo of the gnarly weather and rider inexperience/nerves.
Great round by Colleen.

Colleen and Vermont looked great - nicely ridden, catty nimble horse, “only” one scary fence but at least it was solid fence so putting a foot or two down on top was not terrifying

The eliminations on the 4* are like a who’s who of eventing list.
I wonder if everyone is just getting in their heads at this point and setting themselves up for failure.

I think so!
The biggest difference that I’ve seen over the years between 4* and 5* is how the riders use their hands. You would almost never see that pick, pick, pick at the top level. It is often a sign of a loss of confidence on the riders part–a fear a really going forward when forward is the thing you need most to save your ass.
