Nasty fall for Ireland. Horse and rider quickly up ok. Automatic elimination for a fall, quite right too.

Another fall. Horse and rider ok.

I paused this for lunch then when I came back we had a power cut for a minute. Took ages for everything to come back on again. Was very worrying as we had a power cut for 4 hours yesterday Shocked

Very tricky for them to take the longer route at the Ski Jump without crossing their tracks.

With your 'They're all on drugs' mindset, I'd have thought it'd be a brave mosquito that bit any of the athletes competing at the Olympics - the little flying critters might catch something!

Well with what those "Athletes" are on, I'd expect the mosquitos to grow multiple wings and increase in size 5 fold and tranverse the Atlantic Laugh

No I haven't Leopard.

I have been around part of a BHS Novice event course on an loony ex racehorse, with my instructor, himself a Badminton competitor  accompanying  me round on his scrambling motorbike, shouting out instructions. I missed out the scary fences but it was a huge adrenalin buzz and great fun.

I did take my horse to a UK Chasers course. Where you could blast round a cross country course for the fun if it. I chose to jump the smaller obstacles Blush

I don't ride anymore, not since my lovely old horse went to horsey heaven Sad Love
