That was brilliant - well done everybody including not only riders but coach, owners and of course their grooms.

Oh massively well done team GB, wish I could have seen. Maybe it will be on Rai replay thing or still on iplayer when I get home.

Am so proud of our equestrian team. And my horse is already sound, which is even better than a gold medal!

It was really good at last GB has sorted there jumping out!! Just got the indivauls and the dressage left. I wish that the news etc would show how well the equestrain teams do. There was nothing about the Europens and the Dressage team getting Gold.

Thanks chocolate found it! Wine, crisps, top show jumping - perfect evening!
But what do we think about the commentary? Who is Andy Austin?
I miss Steven Hadley, his commentary was peerless.

Andy is a former Nations Cup winning rider and now teaches and deals in show jumpers. He is probably best known for being the "expert" commentator on Sky sports equestrian coverage of Olympia, HOYS etc alongside Alex.

Having just watched the presentation I'm a bit tired of Michael Tucker raving on and on about Charlotte Dujardin, and to a lesser degree Carl Hester. If I were Laura B, or connected to her I'd be a bit hacked off that she barely got a mention. He needs to listen to himself sometime - he called Adelinde Cornelissen (sp) German when she's Dutch too! He irritated me during the 3DE and he's driven me mad on the dressage.

So proud to be British right now Silver/Gold/Gold - how perfect....can't wait to see the individual rounds for Dressage and SJ, got a feeling there might be a couple more medals yet.
saggy me too - never thought Peter Charles was going to go clear, I was jumping from the sofa over each fence - simply amazing.
