XC thread.

Already the Daily Mail (UK) has their (images) coverage of Zara and her family watching - a shame they picked one poor image to suggest anything but confidence. All I saw on course was a highly determined, solid rider and horse.[/QUOTE]

I didn’t recognize Bea and Eugenie without their fascinators. :slight_smile:

So not actually blaming twizzel. More of a damn for him.[/QUOTE]

Commas are important.

Agree. And in that photo the royal family is NOT watching.

Did High Kingdom lose a shoe on XC? The Daily Mail images have a picture of him down a drop and it looks like he’s shoeless on the LF.

They said he lost BOTH front shoes.

what happened to the Irish rider? course on hold

Irish lady fell.

Oh no, who has fallen now? Jessie or Camilla??

The first photo of the royal cousins was taken from the live feed and posted on the Daily Mail well before Zara’s round started.

For some reason the US seems to be cantering that bank when many other nations are trotting and allowing the horse to take a look in the approach.[/QUOTE]

Yes, it seemed to surprise Twizzle.

I have to say - there are amazing camera angles on this coverage. They seem to have a camera everywhere! Sometimes they seem to lose the horses on the course, but overall, I am really enjoying the coverage.

Camilla

Camilla fell…

I agree, beautiful coverage. Wish they would have used this team for Rolex this year.

Camilla.

Which means why pick that photo for one about them “watching” her ride? Surely they could’ve picked ANY photo of them actually looking at the competition, any competition.

What happened? And at what fence?

uh-oh, ambulance for Camilla, don’t know about the horse.

The aerial camera appears to be providing the most magic. Strung with a series a wires - its to be significant elevated when you see just how sweeping it is when they approach the dressage arena.

Camilla Spears (IRE) appears to be in need of assistance by the ambulance.

Could the online commentator be Peter Scowcroft ?
