I found it, the Hunter phase anyway.

I canā€™t find it now eitther, looking back in my history just brings me back a watch page where the replay doesnā€™t exist.

Iā€™ve been watching the 2023 WIHS EQ. :roll_eyes:

That swap was the first time Iā€™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 donā€™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 couldnā€™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. Doesnā€™t look like thereā€™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 itā€™s a whole other world with blood rules, etc., butā€¦

Thank you - thatā€™s where it is! I donā€™t think Iā€™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 Iā€™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 youā€™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 otherā€™s horses for example, and obviously JJā€™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 didnā€™t mean to imply it counted more mathematically than the other phases, I didnā€™t word my post very clearly but what I was getting at is the judges clearly werenā€™t afraid to score in a way that (appropriately) moved people up and down within the top 10 pretty significantly. Iā€™ve seen other years where the work off seemed like it should have had more of an impact but didnā€™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.

Iā€™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.
