Ugh…an unlucky 4 faults at the wall but otherwise a great round for Tiffany and Tripple X!

Darn that one brick!

Did anyone else see her Instagram post with Kent saying “When you love him but want to beat him”. They are so cute. :winkgrin:

Regarding the loud person in the stands…a tweet came across saying it was a young father calling for his missing daughter. If that’s the case, yeah, I can understand. Still disruptive, but understandable.

I love how big the crowd is today, and how supportive they are!!

I watched the replay and the hoof was past the plasticine but the fetlock came down and touched the strip. I think the announcers said that it’s bad luck but that it does count?

And yes, interesting that they both keep the strip and the jump judge signs off on it (to ensure the correct horse/rider is identified) in case of appeal.[/QUOTE]

I think they also said something about there being judges discretion if the hoof it clear but the fetlock comes down…In my opinion the fetlock shouldn’t count, I mean what can the horse or rider do about a fetlock? His feet cleared it.

The H&H live commentary is excellent. All written but still excellent.

Does anyone else think that Kevin Staut of France is so handsome? https://www.google.com/search?q=Kevin+Staut+images&espv=2&biw=837&bih=518&tbm=isch&imgil=BJ7cqYm9KYd5DM%3A%3B68ULN5cSjub4BM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.esmtoday.org%252Farticles_dozenQ_KevinStaut_122013.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=BJ7cqYm9KYd5DM%3A%2C68ULN5cSjub4BM%2C_&usg=__6NiiRnFzODn1U73yW1EYUPtbOhc%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjxy_qXncbOAhUJzmMKHe3XAeIQyjcIOw&ei=Jy6zV7GcEImcjwPtr4eQDg#imgrc=mB4DZDS2jyQh6M%3A

No. But I do think he looks exactly like the personification of skynet in the latest terminator movie. That said he is ridiculously nice.

I suppose that could have been the case, but to me it sounded like a loud angry voice. I actually found it quite frightening.

Late the the part - but I love Lucy’s big red boy. Beautiful round!!

Can’t read the order of go well on my phone - has Fibonacci and MMB gone yet?

Phew - that was close - wasn’t sure she would make the time!

Love love love Fibonacci and MMB, and I’m so happy they’re doing so well after being called up last minute!

Quite a ride through the triple for Michele Whittaker

No doubts on the water this time sadly, the horse was right in there.

Azur is such a freak! She’s clearing everything with feet to spare. What a great day for Team USA! :smiley:

Woohoo, Annie & McLain clear!

McLain great ride!

The air time on Azur!!! Amazing
