No she didn't rush the fence, I'm not sure what leads you to say that, it was simple bad luck, the horse left a leg and that is the result. This happens all the time in eventing, and I certianly think her aproach was about right to this fence.

Um yehh she did even the announces there said she rushed it remember theres a lagg difference from the tv to the recorder.

MAN I MISSED THE HORSE OLYYMPICS!!! when was it?

[Zzluv4horsesZz]

ah the eventing was like the first three days now we have dressage and showjumping to come :D

Actually in cross country your supposed to be in a controlled gallop and your supposed to judge the speed for your jump, if you rush a cross country course you will most likely injure your horse and yourself or come off like Amy did. In all reailty it was a bad ride and she should have slowed down

[RingoEventer]

Oh, that was a bummer. Thank goodness they were okay. We love you Amy! <3

nice music choice!

My opinion? Amy Tryon is a holy disaster on a horse. This was definitely rushing. That horse was strung out and flopping along at a gallop. No control. She did not bring the horse back and try to pull him together at all before the fence.

that rider is Amy Tyron

@Zzluv4horsesZz i think your right, she didnt collect the horse and bounce him enugh to secue him, as a reult, he left a leg.... :L

[Zzluv4horsesZz]

i recorded it from my TV.

Alright, you can say what you want but, I do NOT like Amy at all. I do not ride at this level. NO. But I do have a brain that tells me Amy is only in it to win. I feel she could care less about the horse she rides, and the way she rides it. If you watch her during any phase she just rushes and pushes her horse to the total limit. I don't appreciate it. But you and I have our own opinions. So don't even start complaining. I'm just sharing MY opinion.

[dressagequeen22]

I never said anything about rushing cross country. Like I said Amy isn't even close to my favorite rider, but she is at least somewhat successful and has been on multiple olympic teams. If you want to fault someone for poor riding, turn your eyes straight to Buck. It doesn't get much worse than that.
