It was a fantastic course which tested us all the way to the end. It will be amazing
for us to jumping the big arena tomorrow. None of us have ever been in an arena
like that. The going was fantastic. Some of the corners were a little bit slippery. As
to dicey moments, Zara said, "Mine would have been at the water - he crawled
over the boat." Her father added, not in Zara's presence, "She was lucky
at the water. She knew that she did not have time to go the long way at the last
water and she did that very well." Bettina
Hoy, standing second, who lives at Gatcombe, the Princes Royal's estate with her
huspand Andrew Hoy, and who coach Zara said,"We clmpete against the course.

looking for the next fence.) Kim

Faudree and Antigua incurred 8.4 time faults for a score of 71.70 and 20th place. Heidi
White and Northern Spy were charged with a refusal at a skinny which she had never
had any intention of jumping. Mark Phillips, the Team Coach, talked to the Technical
Delegate, Tom Ryckewaert, who viewed the video tape and the TD agreed with Mark
and Heidi's interpretation of events and took the disobedience off the score sheet.
Heidi had 30.80 time faults. Karen

offs) and 45 time faults for a total of 119.80 for 44th place. Jan

time for a total of 120.50 and 45th place. Members
of the US Team said that when they walked the course they knew there would be
glance offs when the horses didn't even know they were supposed to jump the fence.
(Kim said that this had happened with Winsome Adante when he had his run out.) Among
other world class rider who had run outs over Rudiger Schwarz' course were, William
Fox-Pitt (GBR) with Tamarillo; Andrew Nicholson (NZL) on Lord Killinghurst; Andreas
