Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

Re the "Oh No's" - what happened?

Big spook at the start of the test, and then looked for a moment like the horse was not going to play at all. I thought the rider did very well!

Is dream boy another totilis off spring?

 

[milliepops]

it's a good job the dutch have black horses cos those orange jackets could really clash with a chestnut!

Expecting this to get a big score?

 

[milliepops]

use of the voice now and then! heard someone else clicking in a piaffe a while back.

Grey would also be an option but I think they'd clash with a lighter bay too.

i would think it's quite possible, HP is another big risk taker isn't he and it' another of those hugely scopey horses.

 

[Equi]

Yea I heard voices also. Not as much going for this one but I’m too focused on his flopping ears to watch the legs lol

I always prefer watching HPM to Gal. This is another nice test

In terms of how the horses go, yes. They seem to work more over the back.

 

[Equi]

Why do they keep doing crotch shots in the slow mos

 

[milliepops]

so who's going through HP or will Jessica do it....?

Forward thinking hands, the horse is always pushing the nose to the vertical.
Super piaffe (for a warmblood)
Deserved a higher score for me

 

[Wishfilly]

76% so that pushes Carl out of automatically qualifying

I think we like the same things!

Based on scores in earlier groups, I could see four people qualifying from this one!

eurodressage were predicting 75% being the cut off to get through so that would be about right if so.

 

[Wishfilly]

Yes, same, although obviously depends on tomorrow too.

ETA: about scores

 

[Equi]

I’m gonna miss most of tomorrow’s

 

[milliepops]

She makes this look easy.

 

[milliepops]

I am enjoying this a lot. top harmony.

 

[j1ffy]

84% - amazing!

 

[milliepops]

what a way to finish today!

 

[Equi]

Big scores

 

[Wishfilly]

84%!

 

[j1ffy]

Right, I’m off to ride. As much as Chilli would like to be doing GP we’ll be working on working with neck down, nose out and calm!

 

[milliepops]

i haven't looked at every horse's scores but she got the first 10s i've seen.

 

[Equi]

And she even tried to have a smile most of the time lol
