Well, team GB is sure not off to a great start

Yes, a lot of the horses don’t seem to like that green picket fence. I’m not sure why that one is such an issue - anyone know?[/QUOTE]
I think it has mostly to do with how it is ridden…that corner has to be ridden ‘just so’ it looks like. It does not look like a tight corner (but then, someone yesterday remarked that everything looks bigger on TV…LOL), but the anticipation of your last jumps in a course that does not leave much room for time and in combination with a fence that looks different from the others…
Thank you everyone for all the great commentary:D… I hope the Americas take it all… USA, CANADA, BRAZIL, MEXICO…how fun would that be:)
Qualifying for the rest of the competition…
Now that we have a break, does anyone know how may will go on to the next round? Is there a number of competitors, or a minimum amount of faults they can have? Thanks!
(I am sooo happy that buying my expensive computer last summer allows me to watch this. So happy :)
)

Actually, I didn’t have to download anything - there is an option under the download button to proceed as is.

Of course even though my family was here from the 1600’s on they all came from GB:)
I don’t think he was ready for a jump course of this scale…or maybe he was nervous.
No, you are not. I was quite shocked to see that only the top portion fell.
I think I’m in love with this Ukrainian horse too!
I want that one…and that one…and that one…I want them all!:eek::yes:
Despite the faults, I wouldn’t say no to Quintus.

That wall thingy? I was wondering what that was made of…I was also guessing planks. Pretty ingenious…Guess you have to have a wall somewhere in the course…
Bummer about that time penalty - I love Special Ed!
