yeah it's an optional thing you can do (not just in tempis). rarely see riders from other nations doing it tho!Are one handed tempis a thing, I don’t think I’ve seen that before. Love how much fun he was having!
Interesting…I’m starting to get ideas about how to make this child pay me back for the cervix headbutting and weight gain.may be called "having a professional groom"
I think they said it was a personal best, so I imagine the rider will be thrilled! Sadly the lusos never score as highly as the warmbloods, I guess like you say because of the extended work? I thought it was fabulous to watch, I loved the one-handed bits! Such showmanship! I read somewhere that the rider's family bred Fogoso, so must be amazing for them!
If you do the 3 day free trial on Discovery+ you should be able to see it on catch-up
. Although it's only £4.99 for a month, so worth it even if you don't have a huge amount of time (god, sound like I work for them!).
In my personal opinion (others may disagree!) But yes, the FEI scoring rules are tending more and more to favour a WB movement and less on technically, correctly, performing the move.
first time i saw it was at goodwood with JLC and dutch gold many years ago and i was writing for malcolm brown and i dont think he had seen it before either
78.9%
suddenly there was a trend for riders to just amble just inside the boards and start from there, and EVERYONE started doing it.
I'm not imaginative enough in my floorplans to not start from a centre line so getting up nearer C at the start buys me more time!
