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

Did she actually refer to them as "pit crew"?

Yah, Kara Whittam. I love Kara Whittam

Isn't this the event that Princess Anne competed in in Montreal in '76?

This horse looks REALLY tired

Peter Flarup (DEN) moved into 2nd place. He was the guy with the really tired horse ;)

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

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.

"Is that a horse???....No, another panda.....THERE'S A HORSE"

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
