I was thinking when they showed her coming around that turn that she and the horse both looked awfully casual, and then the rail came down.
Such a beautiful horse and rider though.[/QUOTE]
She almost looked a little confused to me coming around one of the corners? I just love to watch her ride!!
Go Canada!!!

She had four faults - got long to the liverpool and pulled the top rails down. Both looked very confident in the ring though and she rode the course very intelligently, time-wise.

Wait, I think she did not have a refusal, that was the Jordanian rider/horse. On the triple combo (2nd fence). Edwina had 4 faults.
The Japanese are doing fantastic! 1 time fault for Sato.
Thanks you lot.
You are so lucky to have coverage.

Thank you!
One time fault for Ben Maher, but still a beautifully ridden round overall for GB.
Excellent well ridden clean round for the swiss (Schurtenberger).
Obelix has an interesting jumping style.
What did they just announce about the drag? How many more rounds?
This is my first post of the day… and all I can say is wow. A lot of rails are seriously rider error… I’d love to see what some of these horses could do with a better rider up… they are NICE.
The Swiss team is looking very good at this point.
How cute. They had to bring out a replacement for the top of the first to the last fence, and the audience cheered for the guy bringing it out. He ran pretty fast.
