I’m not in the States right now. Sorry :rofl:

I want to like this post but that’s not the right way to agree with you so I’m quoting you instead. Thank you for bringing it up - it’s the truth and the more it’s out there the better.

livestream for today is back on.

Can you elaborate on ā€œeuthanasia boyā€? I’m not watching but am following this. I don’t understand.

I suspect we are allegedly circling in on the name of one of the people that caused USEF to start testing horse hair because people were using euthanasia drugs to calm horses.

It’s driving my mad that none of the saddle pads seem to fit…

Yes! After his trip I awarded him MVP. Which was pretty crappy of me given that most of the field hasn’t shown yet :joy:

I’m seeing that on the catch rides. They seem to fit when the rider is on their own horse, They must be using pads to compensate for saddle fit.

The commentators’ hard on for Babylon is almost unseemly.

I’m afraid we’ve ruined Harrie Smolders, he just had 3 time faults on Jesther ( from the Fasther, Twisther, Ralvesther family) in the 1.40.

They are doing a little better on rider names. Gendering the horses continues to be an issue.

To be fair, I love him too.

Dom Perignon is very pretty. I wonder if he’s going to end up in the equitation ring.

A little off topic, but after reading the comments here about the live stream commentary, I decided to watch the Falsterbo CSIO 5* Grand Prix and listen to knowledgeable commentators.

Karl Cook won.
