XC thread.

Jingles for Hawley! Glad ginny looked unhurt. I was really pulling for them, thought the course would suit the mare.

Retread- Carl is ridung Cyrano Z, not Mensa. Sucks, cause I wanted to cheer for Mensa!

Not hearing anything, just having a course delay on line - commercials - Carl Bouckhart will be waiting to start, for Belgium, but of course American-based and riding Andrea Leatherman produced Mensa winner of Jersey Fresh last year.[/QUOTE]

Actually, he’s riding Cyrano Z according to results.

Bummer, just fell off. What a shame.

Im sorry my mistake not Mensa, Cyrano Z for Carl, ready to start looks like on US feed

Boeckhart came off horse stepped on him a little but he seems ok. caught thehorse

Carl Boucaert just fell at fence 3 - looks like he was bounced out of the tack, and perhaps his airvest popped before he could regroup?

Fence 3 strikes again

Carl just fell! Same fence as H.Bennett.

And they start back up… and someone is off within, what, a minute?

View of the warm-up, nice area and jumps.

Japanese rider on course.

Thanks for the update on Happy Times. My buddy in Australia is saying her television coverage is wretched, so I’m giving her a play by play, and I can’t hear it. :lol:

does anyone know why Cyrano Z substituted for Mensa?

Did anyone actually see what happened to Hawley? I missed it… seemed serious tho since they have the tarps up

Carl B. fell but walked off, horse ok.

Oh dear! At the dreaded fence 3! Carl stamping his feet – it almost looked as if Cyrano stepped on him – the vest did inflate before the body went down as he slid under and around him – I wonder if he is mad! Not hurt but mad! As it is only fence 3 the horses get loose aare FRESH and hard to catch … famous British organization, they need to send loose horse catchers to Fence 3!

Japanese rider looking good!!

Gaah, so annoying that I can’t stream at work. Hoping I can catch some highlights later tonight.

Takayuki is flying!

Mary King is off.
