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%253A%253B68ULN5cSjub4BM%253Bhttp%25253A%25252F%25252Fwww.esmtoday.org%25252Farticles_dozenQ_KevinStaut_122013.html&source=iu&pf=m&fir=BJ7cqYm9KYd5DM%253A%252C68ULN5cSjub4BM%252C_&usg=__6NiiRnFzODn1U73yW1EYUPtbOhc%3D&ved=0ahUKEwjxy_qXncbOAhUJzmMKHe3XAeIQyjcIOw&ei=Jy6zV7GcEImcjwPtr4eQDg#imgrc=mB4DZDS2jyQh6M%3A[/QUOTE]

Azur has scope for daaaaays!
Azur is a freak in the very best of ways. Love her!
And how does McLain make jumping around a serious 1.6M course look like an eq round? Impressive and #goals :lol:
Oh dear what happened there… not good!

I was thinking the same thing.
I also love that they talked about Sapphine 
Does anybody know what happened with Stephan de Freitas Barcha for Brazil? CBC results page shows he was disqualified? The COTH play-by-play just says he had 8 faults.
Any update on the first DQed rider Cassio Rivetti?
Love Gunder. By the same horse as Azur.
Did anyone see what happened with Stephan? I don’t want to message Brazilians while still ongoing but I do really want to know.
This Qatari horse (Gunder) is by the same stallion as Azur, and it’s interesting how similar they are, especially in the hind end!

Oh I know and who cares - I just have a crush on him (besides I’m old enuf to be his - well you know … :lol::lol:
Looks like the Qatar horse wore blinders on his bridle.
Someone fell off - that was the horse with the dangerously hanging bridle an hour or so ago
I’m going to guess Rivetti was DQ’d due to the blood rule or something. I had his score as 8 faults on my paper, but it was changed later. I don’t remember if he was one who had a pretty decent whip/spur through that first combo, but I didn’t see any blood.

That was Keach, I believe.

Having two refusals would show as “eliminated” not “disqualified” (ie. the Spanish rider had 2 refusals and shows as “EL”). And COTH reported that he finished with 8 faults, so I assume he wasn’t eliminated. It sounds like something happened after.
Pedro Cebulka is amazing - he is the go-to gate guy for every big competition now. I loved walking past the gate at Spruce Meadows as Pedro talked to the hitching ring…
"Michael on deck, Ludger in 2, Ian in 3, Rodrigo in 4… ooooh look - there is my good friend smooooofox - Beezie in five, Ludo coming out… "
We lived in the same valley in British Columbia for many years - he still does, I moved away… Great guy!

Hmm I don’t know, I don’t recall either rider having a rough round
