Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

[milliepops]

ooops wiggly tongue!

I was wondering the same thing. I think we were looking head on at the time and I don't remember it being dramatically crooked or anything, so maybe it wasn't in the right place or something ?

I thought I could see a bit of a drift to the left - but the angle wasn't great

There’s a really annoying noise on the audio like crickets lol

 

[milliepops]

on the russian stream which is what I rewatched it looked really straight in charlotte's change before positioning right for the second piri, the scores on 6.5 would match with a tight behind change.

When I was in Tokyo in August a few years ago thats all you could hear, even in the city, I think in all the trees so could well be or could be dodgy audio....equally possible! ?

 

[Equi]

Two left

Portugal qualified for the team finals, so we will get to see these lovely lusitanos again!

It’s so annoying lol

 

[milliepops]

it's really interesting to see that trot half pass from the side, it shows HOW steep it it

 

[Wishfilly]

Gosh this American horse is sweaty.

 

[milliepops]

what we saw of it looked like a very fluent extended walk.

 

[Equi]

I like this horse. The USA have been very strong throughout

 

[milliepops]

yeah we don't get to see a lot of them in between olympics really

 

[Walrus]

Gosh this American horse is sweaty.

I wonder if it's affecting them keeping a good grip on the reins or if they have super sticky gloves. Catherine Dufor's horse yesterday was dripping!

Crikey, that lusitano got a real spread of totals. The Dutch judge gave them 6% less than the Swedish judge

 

[milliepops]

wheee went a bit far to the right there

 

[Equi]

Tiring a bit bless him

 

[milliepops]

good score, but expect Isabell will trump that resoundingly!

 

[Equi]

Isabelle to go this will be very interesting

 

[Wishfilly]

And Isabelle werth to finish us off!

 

[milliepops]

Steffen got some lovely walk marks. that horse has a really nice extended walk.

 

[Equi]

What a halt lol

 

[milliepops]

aaaaand lets start with a squiffy halt, oops!

 

[NinjaPony]

Bella Rose is so very beautiful, tall and leggy but somehow more elegant than other similar types.

 

[teapot]

Kudos to Isabelle Werth - she always flies with her horse

 

[shortstuff99]

Saw a sneaky bit of Werths training methods there ?

 

[Equi]

Wow bouncy piaffe

 

[milliepops]

I do like this mare a lot, she just lacks a bit of the lightness of expression sometimes? she's usually very correct but seems to lack the sort of joy you see from some others.

 

[milliepops]

this walk is IFFY

 

[Equi]

It’s likely her last big outting so she’ll be glad for just a good run
