XC thread.

Love the current Japanese rider’s mare! What a great jumper. Fingers crossed for them.

I’m curious too, although I can’t watch from work so am missing his comments. I have seen him frequently when watching tennis matches on TV though, had no idea he was an equestrian expert.

Did I just hear that Mary’s time was amended and now she has no time penalties?

Re: Ingrid Klimke

Have any parent/child sets ever BOTH won an individual gold at the Olympics in their respective sports?

(And yes, I know she hasn’t won this yet. Just wondering on the trivia if it would be a first if she did.)

Zara Phillips is on course.

I think they were talking about Hawley. That she was being checked out at the hospital. …[/QUOTE]Something flashed by on my phone facebook about Hawley going to the hospital. Injured pelvis and hit her head but conscious and asking about her horse.

Japanese rider awesome thru castle corner in arena.

Yes, I commented on it a while back. She is now 2nd behind Ingrid Klimke.

Is the Japanese rider the one with the lovely bay mare that jumps so well?

Can someone PLEASE tell me where to tell NBC to fire Stupid Melanie and use Tim Ryan? He is just so good. He hasn’t said a single stupid thing which is NOT true of Melanie.

Tim Lips safe but slow.

Mary King was held on course so likely got the lucky break from that

Yes. Lovely mare isn’t it?!

The crowd is going crazy for Zara!

Did anyone else hear that CMP will be taking over the British team now?! Was not aware of that…

My goodness the dressage stadium was packed to the gills for Zara’s brief two jumps!

Zara looks amazing! Clean and spot on!

Zara is rocking it.
