10:36am – William Fox-Pitt brings his second horse, Lionheart, home double clear as well. He’ll have two horses in the top 10 going into show jumping tomorrow. Andrew Nicholson is out on course with Mr Cruise Control, clear through fence 12, out for the lead!
10:32am – Overnight leader Ingrid Klimke retires with Tabasco TSF at fence 4c. The water claims another victim. With her double clear round, Marilyn and Demeter are moving far up the leaderboard.
10:25am – Dirk Schrade has a stop with Edino at the bounce out of the water at 4c and retires. They were in 7th after dressage.

9:25am – Cross-country is on hold for fall of horse. Emeric George and P’tite Bomb suffered a fall; live scores says at fence 9, @luhmuehlen Twitter says fence 12. Hope they are ok.
9:18am – Jock Paget has withdrawn Bullet Proof, who was in 12th place after dressage. Julia Krajewski and London-Return OLD also withdrew before xc, as well as Bettina Hoy and Lanfranco TSF (understandable after their dismal dressage performance). We’re up to 13 clear rounds now, 6 of those double clear, of the 29 horses that started on xc.
9:06am – Nicola Wilson and Opposition Buzz fell at 4c at the first water. I haven’t had any luck with the live stream, and reports on Twitter (via @samathalclark) say that FEI TV has had trouble, but seems to be working at times. Best follow along with the Live Scores and @luhmuehlen2013 on Twitter for great updates.
Fence 4, causing all the trouble
via Luhmuhlen’s official course preview
8:57am – Jennie Brannigan and Cambalda fell at the first water (fence 4a). She’s not the only one….Andrew Nicholson and Qwanza took a dunking there too, along with two others. This course appears to be riding very tough. Three riders retired, five have been eliminated so far, with five double clears.
8:45am – Jolie Wentworth and Good Knight finished with two stops , at fences 11 and 28c. Lucinda Fredericks and Flying Finish went clear, but moved far down the leaderboard with 19.6 time penalties.
