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.
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.
Right!
I also wonder if Federman B could have won if he stayed and did Maryland.
Not with Boyd’s luck this weekend.
lol good point
That Cooley Chromatic horses absolutely stunning. What a cool horse.
So excited for Sharon to win the 3*, so well deserved!
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.
Corvette is just insane! That is all.
But Boyd? And there were a few others.
Even better in person, what a spectacular round!
I think it’s hilarious to have a 10 min break before the top 3 when there’s only 8 jumping around
That truly was a lovely round from OT and Ballaghmor Class.
Ballaghmor Class has now won Badminton, Burghley, Kentucky, and now Maryland. What a horse
I’m SO THRILLED BC WON Incredible horse just deserved to win this so bad.
Ballaghmor Class is the GOAT! Also thrilled for David Doel! I was hoping he would pull off the win, but still thrilled for him.
I feel like maybe Boyd wasn’t 100%
Amazing there were two TBs in the top 8!
I still sing “God save the Queen” in my head, I can’t help it.
It’s wild because he is not a horse you would pick out of a lineup. He’s not much to look at nor does he ooze class like top horses often do. But what a horse! He is 100% about the job on show day.
He has that in common with Sam, both average movers that wouldn’t turn heads. Both absolutely truest of event horses!
