Dressage Anyone fancy a little Olympia Freestyle thread?

Think Focus is such a lovely horse.

 

[splashgirl45]

Love focus, he is still young as well

 

[splashgirl45]

Glad he’s got a good score

 

[alexomahony]

Enjoying this music ??

 

[Jakehorse]

Oohh Dane. All went a bit muddled....

 

[milliepops]

Fun exit tho

 

[alexomahony]

Loving the positivity from the commentator plus the smile from Dane

 

[alexomahony]

More great music choice! This music suits the horse and is spot on the tempo ?
Fab

 

[milliepops]

It does suit but I just can't ever get excited about her musics ?

 

[Sprat]

Only just turned it on, did I miss anything spectacular? If so I’ll rewind later

 

[milliepops]

I'm looking forward to Frederic Wandres, he usually has good toe tappers ?

 

[Jakehorse]

Well that was nice. Not world beating flash but a lovely horse doing his best ?

 

[alexomahony]

I’m a sucker for a tune I recognise ?

 

[Sprat]

I do wish they would turn the music up and the commentary down

 

[humblepie]

Didn’t realise it was Caroline’s first time there. Very nicely ridden.

? I've found myself on amazon music downloading new tunes on the way home after olympia before. I don't listen to the radio so freestyles are pretty much the only way I hear new music ?

 

[alexomahony]

Oh and then they put on The Beatles! Brilliant. Stunning horse too, looks very comfy to sit on.

I signed up for a clip my horse trial, just need to cancel before they start charging. Much less chatter

 

[milliepops]

Gareth is a lovely rider to watch.

 

[Jakehorse]

Great riding, great music, dodgy piaffe!

 

[Kadastorm]

Gareth is a lovely rider, so kind!

 

[alexomahony]

Gareth is a lovely rider to watch.

I was just about to say this - the horse is so confident with Gareth being such a calm rider. So pleasing.

 

[milliepops]

Its a good job 3yo is not backed yet otherwise he'd get a shock in the morning ?

 

[milliepops]

Lovely test despite the wobbles. Just cool as a cucumber.

 

[Jakehorse]

How old is this horse? Has it got a chance to strengthen and improve its piaffe and overall confidence? I liked it a lot generally and its a spooky old show/arena.

 

[milliepops]

Gareths horse? Yes, it's only 12

 

[Jakehorse]

Gareths horse? Yes, it's only 12

Great, he has time then ?

 

[milliepops]

Yeah and a top class jockey, another year or 2 and I bet it'll be looking pretty special.

 

[oldie48]

I've thoroughly enjoyed the first half. I thought the majority of tests were harmonious and it was lovely to see riders helping their horses through when things got a bit sticky. I thought Lara's test was great, loved Gareth's music and so pleased to see Caroline have a good ride after her disappointment at the Olympics. \i also wished there was a little less talking over the music but on the plus side at least it's knowledgeable and supportive unlike some of the past commentaries!
