So you think he should've fell off and risked injuring himself and wasting his money entering the competition, plus all the training he's put in for it?
+chloe adams touch the ground you're eliminated...staying on still means you're in the running and only get penalties. rather still get a result than disqualified.
I totally agree they should have just taken it with grace instead of yanking their horse around like that. Just because it's the rider's choice doesn't save them from criticism, and every rider knows they could lose their entry fee if they're disqualified... Honestly the lengths y'all will go to... No one is saying they're the devil, just that they didn't make a great choice.
haha! Didn't, but watched it on TV! WHOOP WHOOP! Go Andrew Nickholson, Mark Todd, Jock Paget, and other kiwi guys who ROCKKK!!!! >:D But andrew... was so CLOSE! Damn that fall ! ): He was leading until then.... URHHHHHHHHHHHHH Or was it that his horse was tired and knocked heaps of poles..? Can't remember xD
xRuby Equestrianx yeah but these are skilled riders and they do take care of the horses, if not then being at this level of competition without a bond would be impossible, plus it's a 50/50 chance both horse and rider die or both horse and rider survive with only their dignity bruised
