Well that was great but I liked Vogue's passage half pass better. A beautiful horse and lovely ride though

I just love watching this US combination
It looks harmonious and as though the horse is really happy and trying hard to please

Wow, 84.3% that is going to hold the lead for a while I would think

I would love her to get a medal… I know the big scorers are still to come and it’s a tall order to beat them but I think she deserves one!

That was one of my favourite tests of all time. The music was perfect for it. You don't seem to hear much about Wandres though sadly.

This music is cheesier than stilton but it works so well with this combination! (Secretly I'm loving it)

I am such a fangirl about that horse, I have watched the test over and over, it was magical in the arena that night.

Me too ? he reeeeally went for the extended canters as well. One of highlights for me, I love a good extended canter

Who doesn't love an 80's movie medley!
Feel like the music is really adding to this one rather than just being in the background

I feel for Charlotte having all 3 Germans in her group. That’s going to be intense.

really like this test, the standard is pretty high at this olympics

sometimes the DoD stuff is just coming at the expense of the technical brilliance i think, the 1s on that curve were so difficult but I think she did better ones on the straight lines? and the piaffe piri was just not as great as the normal piaffe. You've got to really go for it at this level, it must be very hard to make the judgement between what the horse is capable of vs what can it pull off under pressure, how do you decide?!

I also like the cheesy music, so much more fun than endless generic classical music. My favourite freestyle scores are always themed medleys, and it makes it memorable for those who aren’t particularly into dressage. My freestyle that sadly I never got to perform was a Mary Poppins medley

No, i doubt anyone ever really had him tipped for an individual... charlotte is in with a good chance I'd say though.

Hoorah, BBC showed Carl's test and it's back on at 12.30, so at least I'll have seen 2 of the freestyles! Just sorry that his score has already been pipped.

Charlotte’s got a good chance but the standard is so very high that it’s going to be extremely tight at the top I think. Carl for 2024!
