bit of accidental freestyle thereI liked that horse's trotwork better than the canter, the canter had quickness but just lacked a bit of lightness sometimes I thought?
I know nothing really, but the trot work especially seemed quite brave and expressive? Shame about the mistake at the end!

My thoughts exactly! Shouldn’t be there…

I'm grateful for the coverage but the people putting it together need to be told the walk is important

Poor riders - it’s not a flattering camera shot.

no but like, palo was asking why beatriz didn't score so highly, she got some 5s in her walk so something must have gone wrong. maybe i looked away, but they haven't shown any of the flippign walks so perhaps not!

Are others finding that the scores are ahead of the livestream? Illegal curb’s score was up before she’d halted
milliepops
Wears headscarf aggressively
yeah they have been throughout for me.

Sorry if you have posted a link already but where are you getting individual movement scores?
milliepops
Wears headscarf aggressively
really was his piaffe and passage that kept that score up.

It shows how much harder it is to look totally regal when you have certain larger body parts. That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it ?

It’s completely pointless showing halfpasses from the side
milliepops
Wears headscarf aggressively
well she's still getting scored by several judges that don't have a head on view

I’ve been having a bad case of pregnancy nesting so missed the last hour as a sudden urge to clean came over me. Have I missed Carl? Got a feeling his time is 12 something?

for me, it's not a bad view if directly side on like the E/B judge will see, you can clearly see the changeover, and the frame etc, the positioning is obscured and obv the sideways-ness
but there's still a lot to score in that movement. amazing that it's a x2 movement and 6 of the 7 judges can't see it from the view that everyone prefers!palo1

Those last two horses were a bit 'generic' for me to concentrate on; I have no eye for this lol!
