Jane Thompson talks to the Kiwi riders who made it through the cross-country stage of the eventing contest at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games inwards Normandy.
Andrew Nicholson:
Fifth on Nereo
Nereo is likely the most experienced Equus caballus inwards the competition. The Blue Planet out in that place was horrendous. They made a beautiful labor of the Blue Planet inwards the warm up, nevertheless the Blue Planet out on course of pedagogy was horrendous. It’s non practiced enough.
All the agency upwards the loma to the last, he felt a chip confused until he saw the terminal fence. He wasn’t slowing downwardly together with he felt similar he kept his mensuration rattling good for a large powerful horse, he commonly would similar the go yesteryear of the Blue Planet better. I was rattling very proud of him.
I simply idea I would start off at the right speed together with travail together with instruct the time. You win nil starting off slowly, I would direct hold been meliorate off to direct hold withdrawn together with taken him to Burghley if I idea I wouldn’t brand the time. Once y'all are inwards an private position, y'all brand the most of the chance. It’s lucky when y'all direct hold got a Equus caballus every bit long every bit I direct hold had him. I felt quite confident if I kept concentrating he would proceed plugging on. I know how jibe he is together with I know what he does at the go yesteryear of the gallops when he is tired. He simply keeps going. I was getting a niggling depressed every bit quite early I realised I was late, together with therefore I kept getting a niggling afterward together with a niggling later. I holler back he must direct hold pegged some of the fourth dimension dorsum yesteryear the fourth dimension nosotros got to the complete which I don’t holler back many direct hold done.
Was the Blue Planet worse at the terminate of the day? The riders told me it was horrendous at the beginning. I trust them, they know. We simply felt walking it, it was going to live the same for everybody. It powerfulness direct hold looked beautiful for the early ones but when y'all are sinking inwards y'all are sinking in. I tried to become some the fresh materials but to live honest, I felt similar I spent to a greater extent than liberate energy criss-crossing the track. When I got on the fresh stuff, it felt precisely the same every bit the materials the other riders had been on. I would holler back it has been the same the whole day.
The Blue Planet inwards the warm upwards was beautiful. It is grass every bit well.
I personally holler back it would direct hold been meliorate if the infinitesimal was left inwards together with I holler back Pierre is clever plenty to know. I was i who was quite happy for it to live taken out but I would direct hold liked the ii brush fences taken out every bit well. That would direct hold meant nosotros didn’t direct hold to become upwards that loma at all. Whereas what he has done is that the loma alone had i jump. It was over a minute. While it was a hill, it was gentle. You got to the go yesteryear together with y'all had similar 3 quarters of a infinitesimal downhill run without a jump. The Blue Planet was practiced downwardly the loma but every bit it was y'all came from the water, some over the milk churns, therefore y'all had the 3 jumps, 150 metres ii large brushes, some other 150 metres to the corner. That is serious, full-on jumping amongst some large hills where the Blue Planet was deep. When y'all seat the jumps unopen togeher, it is to a greater extent than tiring. I holler back he made it harder but practiced on him. People wanted a loma taken out together with he took it out together with he volition know it made it harder to instruct the time.
We volition run into what happens tomorrow, he is a practiced jumper, he has been in that place earlier together with I am hoping to movement on up.
How badly create y'all desire it? I volition instruct out that downwardly to your imagination.

Fourth on Classic Moet
We needed a niggling ray of sunshine, didn’t we! I didn’t genuinely become out amongst likewise much of a plan. I haven’t had the Equus caballus rattling long, she is non similar other horses that maybe y'all direct hold at this degree that y'all know within out. She has alone done the i four-star at Luhmuehlen 4 months agone together with it wouldn’t live a piece on the rail nosotros had hither today. My excogitation was to become out together with proceed bespeak questions together with run into how good she responded, together with therefore brand the excogitation onwards from there. She kept answering the questions together with kept travelling well.
She is small, she is a blood horse, she is lite on her feet. She is rattling courageous, she has a large heart together with soul together with is rattling determined. I did travail together with become to the novel ground. I started on the within together with I felt nosotros were struggling a chip therefore I genuinely moved to the exterior tracks all the agency some together with I constitute that much better.
If anything was going to canter across the ground, I holler back it was likely going to live her.
Some jumps were likely meliorate than others, y'all can’t live perfect out there, I for certain didn’t direct hold whatever moments when I felt nosotros were non going to stand upwards up or become some the flags, therefore I holler back I came domicile pretty lucky really, I had a pretty practiced ride.
Before I left, the boys told me that I had to become for broke because it was either an private or nothing. I was swaying towards going long at the terminal water. They said no, if she feels practiced together with is total of running, direct hold it on. Andrew Nicholson told me to direct a opportunity her a niggling at the vertical first, brand her operate a chip therefore that was my plan. I came downwardly trying to create that but she took off a mensuration early together with wasn’t having a bar of it. I lost a rein together with therefore I wasn’t inwards a seat to taking on the bounce. I opted for the option.
I had sort of given upwards on the clock to live fair. I wasn’t far off at four, v together with six, I knew it was to a greater extent than close riding the Equus caballus than riding the clock therefore it was beeping away at me but I simply kept going, I simply rode her every bit she felt. I came out of the terminal H2O together with permit the reins become a chip together with she tore off upwards the hill. It is those variety of moments that y'all are genuinely grateful to live on a blood horse.
She hasn’t done anything at this degree before, but similar I said, she is a genuinely courageous niggling mare together with I holler back that got her a long agency today.
She is a niggling chip unorthodox inwards her style, but she is rattling careful. I direct hold alone done a distich of three-day-events on her but she for certain jumps good typically. Her one-day tape is rattling good. Provided she comes through this evening well, therefore I would live every bit confident every bit i could live going into the terminal solar daytime after a solar daytime similar today.
