A lot of riders are having trouble with the first jump of the triple…?
Ok…maybe not…listen carefully at the skinny before the water and the water…what the heck am I listening too…
OMG that was a bad fall…he looks like he’s sore…poor sumbitch
Too bad about that…but GO MAC AND OLE
Oh no!! Poor horse looked off at the trot after that spill.

Great ride by Nick S. I love Russel…he’s such a thick horse. 
They’re a fun pair to watch take on the Puissance wall. Oh I think I spelled that wrong.[/QUOTE]
Russel is awesome - I got to see him do the six bar at the Masters a few years ago, such a great horse.
What’s going on with his other horse, Arko, right now? Love love love that horse!
OMG that’s such a shame! I love that horse!!!
Oh man! That fall was horrible!
Horse definitely limping away. I hope he’s alright…
oh please tell me that horse is gonna be ok…I was just going to say how much I liked him…:no:
he’s walking sound at least…phew!!

Wow. You are at least a minute ahead of us here on the Net.
he Republic of Irelland has been independant since 1922.
The kingdoms of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland together make up The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
But England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland don’t send their own teams to the Olympics.
IIRC, the British lease on Hong Kong ended in 1999.
I thought I saw somewhere that there was a Puerto Rican team.
So I really don’t understand what determines who gets their own team.
Ole’s inexperince is showing
OMG!! And such lovely jumping efforts up to then!
Too bad for blanc de blanc–hope he wasn’t hurt!
[QUOTE=akrogirl;3449855]
Except, of course, Wales and Northern Ireland ( plus Scotland) compete as part of GB and don’t get their own teams![/QUOTE]
Fwiw, Hong Kong has much much more autonomy than Wales, Scotland and N Irl. It’s very separate from China in many respects. It’s not just HK, but Taiwan too, and some of the US territories I think that have their own separate teams.
McLain is up next!! go SAPPHIRE!!
12 faults for Mac and Ole…but for his inexperience (he just started metre six this winter) nice ride
okay, I had to wait to see how Laurie went … He’s out after Mclain Ward, on another (better behaved) grey. You’ll report for your poor blind antipodean friend, woncha?
Tough course!! HUGE step up from the first round.
I love Mac’s horse but he does look a little sticky off the ground sometimes. Does anyone know his age/experience?
Here comes McLain!!! Go Sapphire!!!

Yeah, I wish… Playing the owner/trainer job barely lends me to be able to keep my boyfriend around… Marriage? Yeah… that’ll happen, lol.[/QUOTE]
Don’t give up hope I had two jobs when I met Mr Akro and was working from 8am to 11pm some days, plus weekends. He actually thought I was volunteering at my hospital job until I enlightened him, lol.
