yes, devastating. I’m no fan of Alex Hua Tian but to be fair to him I think he’s acted with a great deal of grace about the whole situation. At least that’s how it appears to me!Just seen Flo Carter's tiktok - she's done a brilliant job explaining equestrian current affairs! I didn't even know the Chinese team had their Olympic place revoked, but what a super way to explain what's happened.
On another note, how shit for them! I'd be crushed if I got told I wasn't allowed to go to the Olympics after qualifying because my horse ate some of another horse's pissy hay!
I haven’t watched but I daresay the mare would be capable of doing it with the right rider.It was awful!Not a single 'good girl' to the poor horse. What a shit show.
I doubt it. It's one she saw with Simon so would have to be one from vlog one or two?I think from the unboxing it’ll be the dappled grey from the last vlog
I was going to say equestrian ones must be that or less!!I was admiring her ingenuity & looking forward to following the story until I saw someone comment that jump4joy do a set of boards to suit a 20x60 arena for £500![]()
Is this YT or insta?I think Han is an extremely caring owner, but I agree that the team chase was a car crash. Eilis was so good, bless her. But Han’s constant “can we trot” just showed how novice she is. I’m not sure if a team chase would be my first choice for either Han or Eilis.
I’m literally doing it right now as searching for my first horsenot going via an agent but travelling around with my instructor trying on horses being sold by private owners.
Oof, not like Tina to not replyShe (Tina) did the same with Voltaire. Was supported by them and then just went quiet. I messaged her to ask about her thoughts as I was looking to get one at the time and she never replied.
That’s weird, they’re still showing turned off on mine. Photo of her on the bayThink she’s deleted a load if it’s the one she posted in the last hour, comments definitely on.
ETA: apparently Eilis is just on a winter break if Whizzy Welsh’s comment is correct.
Isn’t that what they all do though?I’m nosey…. What does footluce (phone wanted to spell it footlice![]()
) do as an actual job? She has several horses and just seems to flit about and I’m envious

Thanks, I actually never thought about whether the ban extended to Northern Ireland! I'll fix it.Fox hunting is still legal in Ireland and Northern Ireland![]()
Is anyone familiar with how qualification works - I wonder if Tina at 16th could almost be close enough to get a place if not everyone takes them up?Just snuck a peak at Eventing scores while out for a roast and was not expecting that! Looks like it will just be Meg again this year![]()
"I'm not competitive and trying for badminton"So I’ve posted enough for you guys to know I don’t like Tina and don’t believe she’s as squeaky clean as she comes across. So much for worrying about Banksy’s age and going just for the fun etc… no, she pushed him for the time. Feels guilty, but still did it. The roads and tracks etc take up to about 30 mins I believe and if my “older” horse was then feeling it XC, I sure as hell wouldn’t be pushing him for the time. Unless I was putting my competitive wants before the horse of course…. View attachment 2527243
