Christopher Bartle is doing a bit too well isn't he?

(Training German team I mean)

Well done to Jock, Andrew and Michael, great to see Pippa, commiserations to William.

Watched it via satellite, on edge of seat. Did anyone get to go?

Very proud of our NZers!

Haven't been able to find any on TV - which I was really upset about, we were meant to go to cross country - but have all been under the weather.

DH trains occasionally with Chris Bartle. We asked him after the Olympics if he was going to train GB team given that Yogi yet again failed to deliver at a major championship and he said that as no-one had asked him, he was carrying on with the Germans Sad Angry.

We truly believe that he should be the GB trainer as our guys continue to under-perform, particularly in the dressage phase. Having seen the poor show at Badminton this weekend, they are going to have to seriously up their game to come away from the Europeans this summer with anything and that's the one championship that we always win.

Unbelieveable *Carabos!! Shock What dimwits who on earth are in charge of the asking I wonder?

[Used to work with pupils of CB years ago and worked at YRC as a groom in very dim and distant past. Worship the ground he walks on!]

Yes the NZers have done brilliantly as ever MrsL - sorry you missed it and hope you are feeling better now. Are you in the UK? I found it (eventually) on BBC2 yesterday afternoon here. I was able to access it from mainland Europe but doesn't look like they are showing it on Iplayer unfortunately.

Went to Aachen last year and an Aussie fell off in the water. My sympathetic husband laughed as the guy limped off. Grin

Probably thought it couldn't happen to a nicer guy.......

I'm sure he emphasised the limp as he passed us!
