And the Dutch!
Someone at work loaned me their ipad just in time to see Reed’s ride. Scott Brash was great.
Allerdings with 4 down…pity. I’m a big fan of this swedish horse.
This is when I wish they did NOT start with a blank slate on Sunday… 
Shite! Can I say that without getting banned, Allerdings tensed up like hell…
Brazilian crashing all over. Surely something not right with the horse. Finally in before last jump, the top part fell off before he jumped. They stopped the round, built it and started over. 46 f total.
for those of you without video, you can also follow live coverage this way: http://www.chronofhorse.com/olympics-cover-it-live
i am obsessed so i am following that coverage, plus this forum…
have my fingers crossed for flexible!!!

bummer for Reed and team USA. Can’t wait for Flexible, but it’s looking rough.[/QUOTE]
After Reed’s ride (since hers will have to be dropped instead of McLains)…even if Flexible goes clear, I don’t think we have a chance at a medal unless the rest of the other teams that are doing well fail miserably (which is unlikely).
Wouldn’t it be better to pull up than to go on with over 30 faults, as the Brazillian rider did? Or is that simply not done? It seems it would have been better for the horse.
He was not eliminated, just pulled up because the gate fell before he got to it…
Swiss rider has 12.

Right. Corrected it. Seemed like he had stopped.
I guess he continued because of the team? Remember they were down to three riders…
Was going to go to bed but looks like it might wrap up sooner then I thought. Is there any chance Canada could get a medal if Ian goes clear and lots of rails come down for other teams??
Or is that just wishful thinking??
P.
wishful thinking at this point, I think 
Third Saudi rider one course.
Another very nice horse!! One down at the double, rider error.
4 Faults!
Saudis 4faults
That poor Brazilian guy was knocking down fences just by looking at them!
Rodrigo.
RICH IS NEXT!
With the last Swiss rider, the USA is now out of a medal. BOO. Let’s hope Rich and Flexible can medal in the individual!
Pessoa in da house!
Rodrigo is out? What happened?
