  • They do NOT call them a "pit crew" :) They call them grooms, no?

  • Neat fact: Most horses in the event have the horse-equivalent of a nasal strip on their noses to help them breathe easier.
    by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 12:51:29 AM
  • That horse almost just stepped in the ditch. That would have been messy
    by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 12:52:06 AM
  • by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 12:52:20 AM
  • Heelan from NZL had to retake a jump after a refusal...in addition to an earlier mistake.
    by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 12:52:22 AM
  • HA...camera man completely lost on the course. Was swinging the camera round trying to zero in on the horse.
    by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 12:53:05 AM
  • "Is that a horse???....No, another panda.....THERE'S A HORSE"
    by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 12:53:34 AM
  • Sandra Donnelly, the Canadian, is finishing up now in 9th place
    by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 12:54:38 AM
  • They totally should've had a Panda jump! Missed opportunity there.
    by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 12:54:45 AM
  • by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 12:55:06 AM
  • Sandra Donnelly (CAN) comes in ranked 9th
    by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 12:55:13 AM
  • There is a panda forest jump :)
    by Jonathan Keebler at 8/11/2008 12:55:14 AM
  • There is? How did I miss that? I keep getting distracted by the wooden frog by the Five Coloured Lake.
    by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 12:55:54 AM
  • Frank Ostholt from GER comes in ranked 2nd as he finished the course.

  • They need to stop with the 'copter-shot...makes me think I'm waiting for OJ and his white Bronco to appear on the course.
    by PollyPrissyPants at 8/11/2008 12:59:10 AM
  • I say, if OJ could ride a horse through this full course, I'd let him off the hook once and for all
