Maryland 5*

[Guyot]

So thrilled to see here that all are thru the jog! Struggling with my phone and results all weekend.

David is a wonderful person, known him and his family for almost 20 years. It’s been a delight to see his riding grow and yesterday his ride was inspired! Hope he jumps round well today!

I was at the water at Sawmill yesterday and from where we were it looked like Buck really had to work to get Sorocaima through that very difficult complex. I am very surprised he said that the course didn’t feel like a true 5*. I was halfway expecting to hear he hadn’t finished after watching him at the top of the course.

@Jealoushe

if he did lose consciousness he shouldn’t have been allowed to continue.

If he was unconscious then that means he had a concussion. That would mean Boyd, his team, the event officials and the medical professionals on site made a bad decision to allow him to continue.

From a livestream view it didn’t look comparable with Badminton or Burghley but they are so established and the venues have such charm.

[Jealoushe]

LOL!

It didn’t look an easy ride for Buck either!

To me those with a lot of 5* experience made it around, those with less seemed to get caught out.

[Jealoushe]

Right!

I also wonder if Federman B could have won if he stayed and did Maryland.

Right!

I also wonder if Federman B could have won if he stayed and did Maryland.

Not with Boyd’s luck this weekend.

[Jealoushe]

lol good point

That Cooley Chromatic horses absolutely stunning. What a cool horse.

So excited for Sharon to win the 3*, so well deserved!

[initiate1987]

I’m so happy to see Kim Severson back in the upper levels too! I hope she has a 4/5* horse to be back at the very top soon.

[Jealoushe]

Corvette is just insane! That is all.

[Danvers]

But Boyd? And there were a few others.

[AwiUsdi]

Even better in person, what a spectacular round!

[tagsalong]

I think it’s hilarious to have a 10 min break before the top 3 when there’s only 8 jumping around

[before_color]

That truly was a lovely round from OT and Ballaghmor Class.

[initiate1987]

Ballaghmor Class has now won Badminton, Burghley, Kentucky, and now Maryland. What a horse

[Jealoushe]

I’m SO THRILLED BC WON Incredible horse just deserved to win this so bad.

[Trak_Eventer]

Ballaghmor Class is the GOAT! Also thrilled for David Doel! I was hoping he would pull off the win, but still thrilled for him.

[Jealoushe]

I feel like maybe Boyd wasn’t 100%

[Jealoushe]

Amazing there were two TBs in the top 8!

I still sing “God save the Queen” in my head, I can’t help it.
