no, particularly following En Vogue it didn't have the same easy way of going for me. it's annoying not having the individual marks today, anyone managed to find the breakdown?

scores roundup after first riders for each team:
%
GER 80.61
GBR 78.34
USA 76.11
DEN 74.21
NED 71.20
ESP 70.15
POR 68.69
SWE 67.44
I think unless one of the later German riders have a big issue (sudden lameness, blood in mouth etc) they’re going to get the gold.

Same here - I’m so glad I forked out for Discovery, but I’d like to see a few more scoreboards on screen. Especially like now - lovely harrowing and all, but it would be great if they could use the time to show some breakdown of the scoring

Yes looked like she was having to work very hard for it, while Carl's looked effortless to me.

Ah. So we’re scoring for people now not what’s in front of you. Bah humbug.

it's one of the things that make him stand out as a rider, i think, he makes it look like the horses really go for themselves, within their capabilities.

If I could choose any rider to be able to ride like it would be Carl hands down!

This is what I love about Carl and Charlotte. It’s so effortless and looks like a true partnership and I think that’s all true horse people can want/ask from from our beloved expensive pets. To feel on the same page and as a team.
I managed to miss Carl’s test thanks to baby deciding that was the moment to attack me with a bad episode of braxton hicks. I swear she better come between the end of today’s footage and the start of eventing. I don’t mind missing the eventing dressage so much but if I end up labouring during xc I will never let her forget it.

this looks a touch horizontal in the canter work.

well he looks thrilled must be a proper bonus feeling to get pulled in after being the reserve.

He looks a bit less connected from front to back doesn't he? His movement isn't quite all there

Can't believe Lucinda just said that they're (Lusos) are just coming to the fore...I wonder if she has done her history lessons lol!!

there will be some ruffled feathers with Lucinda describing Lusos as the "Spanish Portuguese breed" haha
