British Nations Cup riders Nick Skelton, David McPherson and Will Funnell were quite critical about the waxed sand as well as fibre based service during this low key event. Skelton said, “The ground, for me, is a little bit dead and dense at the moment.”

McPherson said, “For me, the surface is nowhere near good enough. It needs an enormous amount of work. I think it is a consensus between the riders that there is a sort of a pudding feeling, and this cannot be, because it's our Olympics and everything needs to be perfect.”

Funnell further said, “It was a bit too soft, but to be fair they've only had four days to get it right. I think they've got five or six weeks for next year when the surface will be down. When you are jumping at the top of a horse's ability at an Olympics, the surface is going to make a big difference.” for more information, you can log on to http://www.londonolympicstickets.com

The footing adviser of the sport’s world governing body, Federation Equestre International, Leopoldo Palacios admitted regarding the presence of issues, as he said, “For this event the footing was not perfect – it had problems. It is not packed enough, it's soft, very heavy for jumping. We know that, we are aware of that, and the riders passed feedback to us.”

One of the Gameorganisre’s spokeswomen said, “That is the whole point of testing. We will collate all those comments, both positive and negative. We will refine our plans and make sure the platform is in top condition for next year. It's part of the important learning process and shows why it is so crucial to test well in advance.”
