I found it, the Hunter phase anyway.

I can’t find it now eitther, looking back in my history just brings me back a watch page where the replay doesn’t exist.

I’ve been watching the 2023 WIHS EQ. :roll_eyes:

That swap was the first time I’ve thought he looked like a great riding pony kid instead of his usual poise and polish. He did a remarkable job despite switching onto an unfamiliar, big, rangy horse.

Finally found it. I think.

Type in the CMH search box, Washington International Horse Show 2024.

I thought this was supposed to start at 8:30, but don’t see a way to watch it on CMH. Has it not started yet or am I just not able to find it?

You have to subscribe to FEI TV (which I will never do again since I subscribed and they had ā€œtechnical issuesā€ several times,and I couldn’t even get a replay of the jumping I wanted to watch.)

Had the same problem. I think if you click the FEI part of Clipmyhorse it comes up. the GP starts at 9:20pm. Doesn’t look like there’s much of a crowd there. Maybe more will show up for the GP

Wait. The kids in the Washington need spur patches? I know it’s a whole other world with blood rules, etc., but…

Thank you - that’s where it is! I don’t think I’ve had to ever click on the FEI part before???

Took me forever to find it as well. I thought I was going bonkers.

Currently watching GP via CMH. Started at 5:30 PDT. The class showed up near the top of the opening page. I do have a CMH subscription. I will say that the CMH app is a bit kludgey to navigate and I’ve ended up accidentally watching stuff in German.

Am I remembering correctly that Taylor Cawley had Mamba as an equitation mount previously? If so- how comforting it must be in a horse swap to ride one you know. I wonder how often that happens - previous mount, swapping with a barn mate who you’ve swapped with at home before, etc.

I was glad the judges gave significant weight to the work off, the riders had already proven they could ride their own horses well, and there was a big difference in how some of the work off rounds went. Christian and Schuyler came in and did a great job on each other’s horses for example, and obviously JJ’s round had a really unfortunate miscommunication. Those deserved to impact the results and it did, so I was glad that if you are going to ask them to swap horses and do the round, the ones who executed beautifully were rewarded.

The work-off is equally weighted with each of the hunter and jumper phases, per the rules.

Well yes, I didn’t mean to imply it counted more mathematically than the other phases, I didn’t word my post very clearly but what I was getting at is the judges clearly weren’t afraid to score in a way that (appropriately) moved people up and down within the top 10 pretty significantly. I’ve seen other years where the work off seemed like it should have had more of an impact but didn’t (even taking into account point spreads coming into the final phase).

Fair point-- was nice to hear the work-off scores announced during the prize-giving, gave viewers a sense of just how close it was.

I’m not sure about Taylor, but I believe I reed that Christian Dominguez actually rode/showed Talk, who he swapped on to for the ride off, during WEF.
