I am LOVING peppermill…must have him 
does this count for the team at all? If so, how many come back. If not all, Aussies and Germany not looking so good for that. And if there are some really good rides, I’m not sure Meredith and Marco will be in for indiv. However, maybe it’s their plan. They are too good- this could be part of thier very carefully made plan to suck us all in!
I love you guys.
Now to bed, because we have to be up at sparrow-fart to clean stables, feed up, needle sick horse and load other horse then drive an hour for a showjump comp.
Thanks

I wonder if Germany will even make it to the team event.[/QUOTE]
I believe this just determines the order of go for the team event. However, Ludger and Christian are in real danger of not making the individual final - they are already ranked joint # 45.
One more clear, four fault or eight fault round and Ludger is out.
Amazing. Who would have thought?
I believe that round by Lantinus puts Ludger and Christian out of the individual event!
Lexi will be happy that her relative did so well
Well ridden Denny Lynch. Up and coming star right there.
I think that the top 45 individuals after the two rounds of team competition qualify for the individual.

Just re-read the rules and you are correct, thank goodness. My brain isn’t functioning well on this little sleep, lol. However, this should be a big wake-up call to some of these riders.
Lantinus had one timefault, it was nice to see him go finally!
WOW Allah Jabeck the horse from Saudi Arabia was AWESOME!!!
Pretty cool at the Olympics how many nations are here…I’m used to Spruce and the Royal in Toronto with just the regular countries…
I just hope Lexi has a fraction of Lantinus’ talent, lol.

LOL. The world hates me too. I have a Mac. It says I can watch it with Firefox, but it lies. I am so depressed. Guess I’ll have to watch whatever 5 rounds they select to play on Oxygen. :([/QUOTE]
I’m watchinh, using Safari, on my Mac with no issues…

I think you’re right!
The first individual qualifying competition: Serving as a qualifier for the final individual competition, the 12-obstacle competition also determines the starting order of the team competition (the score of the three best riders from each team are added together. The team with the least amount of penalties from this competition start last in team competition).
Team jumping Competition: Competition takes place over the course of two days with a possible jump-off. The first and second rounds also count toward individual qualifying competitions. All riders will compete in the first round. In the second round, only the top 10 teams and all individual riders compete. Each team’s three best scores (the lowest score is dropped) from each round will be tallied to establish the team score.
The final individual jumping competition: Competition consists of two rounds with a possible jump-off with the combination of the penalties incurred in each determining the final score. No more than three riders from the same country may compete in the individual final. If four riders from the same nation qualify, its Chef d’Equipe decides which three riders compete in the final rounds.
The riders’ scores from the qualifying rounds will not be carried over to the final rounds. After the third qualifying round, the 45 highest-ranked riders advance to the first of the two final rounds, called Round A. Following the completion of the first final round, the top 20 riders advance to the second round of the finals, Round B
Wow, the Ukranian horse sure didn’t care for that jump…
Oops, Lord Spezi isn’t happy - bad refusal there 
Ok, that makes more sense. Would be a shame to go home after one bad round.
Actually I think it’s this round combined with the first round of the team (which the individuals also have to jump in). Or do the make the individuals jump both team rounds? I think the 2nd team round is a reverse order round, right?
Ah, feck it, I should just go look up the details.
ugh
