That was a lot of blood on cians horse, more obvious as a grey I think. Incredible that so little is curtains in dressage and then this is ok.
why was NZ eliminated?
I noticed two riders retired after a couple rails, presumably to save the horse for the team final, but I think Meech from NZ did finish
Kilkenny coughed audibly on course turning left (to I believe the tall double 11A/B). After that I noticed blood.
Clear for the barefoot horse King Edward, so impressive!
He did finish. Equiscore still has him up with 12(2) faults. Maybe he had blood or something after?
hmmm… live scoring on
shows EL for Meech
Sweden!!! Wow - all three clear. Amazing!!
Both barefoot horses clear. I wonder what happened with meech?
And two of them barefoot. Nice!
love the horse from Portugal. looked to really be enjoying it, happy face, happy ears
I didn’t realize there are two streams going on right now and accidentally started the one with Melanie Smith-Taylor. I was like “Where is my John Kyle???”
Explosion W is an amazing horse.
… and had an amazing ride, right now favorite for a Gold Medal.
John K is a little more assertive today. He has been updating us as to the horses’ records in Europe this year. I do love listening him.
So excited there’s a Japanese rider in the jump off! And I believe the order of go posted just before the break for the jump off had them going last.
Awesome rounds for the Swedes!
What time does the jump off start?
they have to reset the course, and the riders have to walk it. 15-20 minutes I should think.
Jump off fences;
Had a nibble at 10/1 seemed a great value price. I fear the Swedish especially King Edward!
Nice round for the Japanese rider.
