So who is going?
I can't this year as DP is away and DD is only 3 months so would be a bit much.
Gutted Oli isn't able to compete, he is one of my favourites since I saw him at the South West Equine fair. He is such a charmer and very down to earth and funny.
I will be glued to the TV on Sunday watching the XC and pretending that I would ever be brave enough to try those fences
How about everyone else?

I will also be glued to the X country!I wish so much i was going this year, but life got very busy and I frogot.

I have half a mind to just get in the car and go tomorrow but I don't want to go by myself. have asked a few friends but it is such short notice...
Will be glued to the TV, does anyone know what time it's on?

hiya whippet, this is blatently nicked from a thread I'm on where we're all horse mad:
TV times
Red button coverage: Sunday, 2 May 2010, 10.50am-5pm (cross-country); Monday, 3 May, 2.15pm-3.15pm (showjumping).
BBC2: Monday, 3 May, 12.45pm-2.15pm (cross-country highlights and preview of showjumping); 6pm-6.30pm showjumping highlights.
I've got no red button.

Ooooo, I'm staying at my mum's for the weekend (DP away working) and SHE'S GOT SKY PLUS Woohoo!!!! time to go bags the TV for tomorrow.

I'm abroad so we don't have any red button stuff here, can't access i-player.
As for the REAL BBC1 stuff on Monday - I'm working as it's not a BH here.
Instead we have 16 hours of snooker.

So who is watching? It certainly isn't riding straight forward, is it? Loads of drama already.
Southwestwhippet · 02/05/2010 21:23
couldn't get it on sky ... am recording the highlights tomorrow though.
what has happened? Anything exciting?
Ponymum · 02/05/2010 21:58
southwest Sorry you didn't get to see it. We are also on sky but I found it on the red button from BBC1 - it is a real faff to follow the interactive prompts and you can't record it, so I spent all day watching. (To be fair, I am heavily pg.)
Leaderboard completely different from yesterday. Hardly anyone was clear within the time. Lots of run outs / refusals / falls, but I thought the course was fair. I thought the most impressive round was Nicola Wilson on Opposition Buzz - he was jumping out of his skin, all four feet had springs on, and went clear with a fast time. Tina Cook fell at the lake and had quite a dunking.
