well that's where it all begins innit. We're on passage-ish and 1 tempis bootcamp but I've got zigzag feels today after all that so if I can get indoors to see the mirror thats what we will be doing
Fully inspired now 
eeek i'm so excited for tomorrow! we've got to go to a crappy party tonight, i hope it's peeing down because it's in a marquee and I want to get home early to make sure I'm done with morning stables in time to watch! Caroline Chew who is third to go lives opposite my stables
i'm so so chuffed for the whole team that it all came together to get her there, it's brilliant, she's not a pro rider, she works as a lawyer so it's fabulous.
He won Olympic Individual Gold if I remember correctly! Had a fabulous horse.
where can i find the individual marks please. i assume you must have a link
but this is what I took from it.

I went back and re-watched En Vogue and Fogoso for my own understanding. Not looking to start a scrap
I think it's easy to remember the mistakes and Carl's mistakes to my eye were in the 2s and the extended canter following. he was given a muddle of scoring for the change after that, i think it was correct as he was on the right lead before the left change, and the change was correct, the judges were split. it was very dependent on where they were sitting whether they could see that.
I think it boils down to (for me) where the big scores fall so I looked at the coefficient marks. Carl's trot half passes were in better balance for me, Rodrigo's horse is very talented sideways but just appeared to lose balance a touch particularly on the changeover. that's the first x2 score - one for each HP
next big difference was in the walk, En Vogue averaged about 6.5 for the extended and more like 7.5 for the collected, and Fogoso 5 or 5.5 for extended (can't see it all on vid, appears to shy at the end) and 6 for collected. each x2
Fogoso made a mistake in the change after the extended so got the same 4s that Carl did there
zigzag, no errors for either, i would argue the overall quality of balance and ease is better from En Vogue, who averaged about an 8.5 to Fogoso's 7
and again in the 1s, it's hard with that big crest when the camera shows it head on but it appears that he just gets a touch down in front by comparison - En Vogue averaged about an 8, to Fogoso's 7
piris evenly matched
Fogoso undoubtedly had better piaffe scores but it wasn't quite enough to pull back all the other things, particularly when there are little half mark differences here and there on the normal scoring movements, such as the extensions. just my 2p.
