Heidi Antikatzidis from
Greece was unable to match her excellent Sydney performance and was eliminated on the
tricky water complex - No 12.
Her horse, Sams Choice appeared to have been quite shaken by
the fall and they were eliminated.
Another of the disastrous afternoon rides into the water at 12 was Anna Hasso on Son of a
Bitch from Sweden - they were also eliminated.
The 'ground crew' try to get the approach into the water jump
back into order as it is now causing lots of problems and if only the riders knew it would
be 'quicker' to go 'slower' and take the long way round.
Paula Tornquist on EMV Monaghan from Sweden
wisely kept to the right side of the approach to The Stone House and kept safe!
The huge crowd
at the Number12
Water complex
Bruce Mandeville on Larissa from Canada
decided to play it safe at the water and made it in, round and out ... without a
problem ... wise riding!
