Good grief! This sport, man.

It seems like a huge ask to have all three horses for each team come back. I don’t love that idea after all they’ve done already.

I’m seriously about to pee my pants from nerves

Happy for the Belgians! They will be on the podium with Bronze.

I should have been more specific. McLain’s horse had not jumped around in competition

i have some recollection, and it may be incorrect, of the teams in a jump off selecting one rider from each team to jump off for the medal.
this goes back about 10 or more years

I agree.

I would like to take all the Belgian horses home and feed them a ton of carrots and not have them do anything except trail ride for three weeks. Baloutinue is maybe just a little tired and enough to take the edge off, but those horses have had a big ask of them this week.

Think about how Jessica feels!

I may not have heard correctly but John seemed to say that all three from each team would jump off. He gave that impression anyway.

I thought I heard that as well. I was hoping I didn’t hear it correctly.

All three :confused: it’s what they did at WEG for gold too.

Yeah, I heard that too. So six pairs in the jump-off.

She can do it.! If I was in her place I would be relieved if it was over, but she’s tough enough to deal with it.
At that level you have to have learned how to channel your nerves into power and to use that adrenaline for your benefit.

Just a reminder if anyone wants to see the jump off course
