XC thread.

Andrew Hoy has finally broken the jinx of falling off at the Olympics! Back on track. Only 7 time faults even though scaring us.

And Ingrid Klimke is absolutely flying.

Took a stride out in the water.

Ingrid - masterful ride thru water! another quality ride…love her!

Let’s go Peter Barry & that awesome horse of his !

looks like at least one of them is a bridle number kind of thing.

those are numbers.

She and him are riding the heck out of the course.

And now it’s time for Eddie! (Peter Barry & Kilrodan Abbot!)

WOW! Ingrid is FLYING.
9.54.60.
GREAT job! She’s in the lead.

Ingrid made the time!

Can’t watch from work so appreciate the updates.

Everyone likes the commentators - I hope you all email them or the bbc and tell them, but esp. email NBC so maybe they use them again.

Thanks - I just deleted my post - when they zoomed in on her at the end I realized that I think they are sheepskin covered points on her horse’s breastplate. Duh! Silly me!

Ingrid Klimke just taught us all a riding lesson.

So far:

  1. Ingrid Klimke
  2. Mary King
  3. The Young Swede.

Peter Barry just fell off. Both horse & rider are ok.

Peter Barry down :frowning:

Ingrid Klimke’s ride was fantastic! OMG! they made it look easy…

Canada is not having a good day.

Ingrid - just wow.

DAMNED, my favorite horse fell :frowning: Looks like rider mis-judged the line - horse tried it anyway, and it wasn’t right. Very sad - wonderful horse, wonderful AMATEUR rider for Canada!!!

There is another Cruising horse on course for Ireland. 4.80 time penalties!!! Cruising is Flexible’s sire!!

Poor Canada. :no:

Ditto weatherford, so sorry to see it. I think Peter and Eddie looked ok. Not their day. :frowning:

Ow. The Canadians are taking a hiding. Peter Barry has fallen at fence 11.

LOL - My stream is 4 minutes behind other peoples.

Love Tim Ryan - “Trotting away sound as a bell!”
