BTB: One fall, one near-fall, two frangible pins |  |
| One fall, one near-fall, two frangible pins Posted: 30 Apr 2011 02:26 PM PDT The cross-country day was "a disaster" as a friend put it. I was there with my camcorder and by chance captured footage of two bad incidents, both at fence 15, the double corners. Kelly Sult and Hollywood took the second corner badly, and possibly were saved by the franginble pin(s). They went on to finish the course, amazingly. At Kristi Nunnick and R-Star fell at the first corner; R-Star was fine, Kristi was taken away in an ambulance, but I hear she is okay. The accidents seemed similar to me, but the pins only worked for Sult. WARNING: This is tough footage to watch. Take a look if you want to see and compare the falls (Sult/Hollywood first, Nunnick/R-Star second). For better or worse, the footage is pretty clear...  |

I didn't see the jogs, but go to USEA Eventing to see a full photo layout. Everyone looks great! Laine   |

Peter gave just about the most educational coursewalk I've ever attended -- a lesson, as well as a course walk, and some of his hints I can apply to dressage. Here he talks about keeping the horse straight and controlling the shoulder: Lyle Lovett reining Later Friday evening I watched Lyle Lovett compete his palomino in the reining competition (yes, THE Lyle Lovett):  |
