Someone asked me which pair had the best ride today and the answer was as easy as the answer to that question will ever be–William and Parklane Hawk. As for more videos, the folks at the USEF Network have worked really hard to make the entire cross-country ride available for viewing pleasure tonight:
[Watch the entire Rolex XC video replay here]
Will Coleman and Twizzel also had a brilliant ride
As for the spills, I’m not sure how I feel about Universal Sports posting a collection of all of the falls from Rolex today on Youtube, but I suppose all of the the falls are available on the USEF Network replay and all of the horses and riders are fine. There’s a fine line for course designers–all of these falls were safe so Derek is brilliant, if 2 of these falls had led to major injuries people would be calling for Derek’s head. Only watch this if you want to see the tumbles from today:
Update: It appears that Universal Sports has made these videos only watchable in North America, likely due to TV rights. Apologies to non-North America readers.
