Karen perfect thru water

for those of us who can’t get to our streaming video, thank you all for commenting on what is going on!

I don’t know what time allowed is, and I haven’t seen enough rounds to get a feel for where she is on course, but it looks like Karen is having a tremendous go.

ETA for those not watching 5.6 penalties for being over time. Now someone’s going to have to tell me if that’s any good. :lol:

For those of us at work, also thanks for play by play. Much appreciated!

Yikes, 2nd french rider had a refusal at fence 3 same as the 1st rider.

5.60 faults for Karen!

Lots of praise for KOC and Mr Mendicott from the French commentators!
It’s VERY slippery, lots of scary moments.
The French are mad now…2 of their riders in trouble at the same fence!

is anyone willing to pm me a login in info my stupid computer wont let me register for one and I can’t get on! I’ve been trying since 8… apparently my cable bill has 2 extra numbers so I can’t make an account

She had 5.60 time penalties!! Still excellent!!

I can’t believe that Aussie was THAT fast!!!

Mr. Mendicott full of go, even at the finish! 5 time faults.

Loose horse JUST as Shrade was starting - I believe he will start over.

How do you get a temporary pass to watch online?

Medicott pings of the ground, huge stride – up on clock - Karen dead on the corner in the woods, annoucners give her accolades – no question she is the GREATEST cross country lady rider in America!!! Wow

Over time 4. some penalties, just a bit slow at the end, started out with a will the announcers said so bit of a surprise but well ridden, karen! outstanding round, beautifully ridden, tremendous – I just can’t say how impressed I am with the way she rode this horse! We should be proud of her, no matter the time penalties. It was outstanding. JMO

Wow! KOC did fantastic! I have to say I am surprised they looked so much better and SO much more in control than at Rolex. Good on her!!!

How on earth did Karen and Mr. M not make time? They were flying!

The slipping and the pocking is making me really wonder what that footing is going to look like in places by the end of the day.

Mr. M made that look like a stroll through the park :wink: :lol: Surprised she didn’t make the time. Woohoo KOC!

I think it was Sam Griffiths who fell, but I may be wrong. :frowning:

Oh, there goes the TV coverage, finally.

Yes, KOC did a GREAT job - LOVE that horse!! (He’s Irish, of course!!)

Me too, he looked like he was cruising very effortlessly at somewhere near the speed of light except when she had to get him back. Wonderful!

KOC and Mr. M reminded me a lot of Pippa and Primmore’s Pride at Athens!! Lots of gallop, big, bold jumper, on a twisty course. Karen got her workout! But made it look pretty smooth…she obviously knows when to pick her battles and when to let him roll.
