the british commentator on cbc stream keeps making me laugh with his british-isms[/QUOTE]

I was amused by the difference between what he called an evergreen and what we consider an evergreen.

Ahlmann made it look simple
horse so scoopy, smooth, looked easy to ride[/QUOTE]

And that horse had a beautiful hunter braid job!:wink:

It took them forever to groom the track for the stadium rounds. Hopefully, they are a little faster today!

Yup, for now enjoy listening to the song from the Coke commercial over and over :lol:

At least, we have commentary this time. I do like him!

I like him too - any idea who he is?

Nicola Phillipearts, second refusal at that darn second last fence. It is really causing trouble… that and the water!

another elimination at the final triple - BEL

Lucy Davis 4 faults… last fence

ohhhh bummer for Lucy! Lovely round though, regardless, and all the four faulters are getting through to the individual final so she should be happy with that.

Love Quickly! He’s such a character-always a fun one to watch. Abdelkebir is just the perfect partner for him.

Bummer for Tiffany… 4 faults… I am a bit worried with Amy Millar… let’s hope I am wrong!

nice ride for Tiffany Foster - one unfortunate rail
They kept saying the horse was formerly successfully ridden by Ben Maher(?)
wonder how much it cost to buy that horse

I think Ben Maher had to sell him to pay off his debts. Tiffany has done so well with him and has improved so much in the last few years. Always smiling.

4 faults for Kevin Staut last fence! it was such a great ride!

Who are the two male commentators on NBC’s live feed? They’re my favorites.

ETA: one is named Steve; he sounds Irish.

Wow, three clears for Germany so far.
