Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

[Equi]

This is my first day of Lucinda! Ha ha

I’ve learned to block her out this time! Lol

 

[palo1]

I thought the last extended trot of Everdale's toward the judges was brilliant too - such power and openness as well as a nice change from piaffe and passage (not that they are remotely boring).

 

[WelshHoarder]

Gutted that a video call ran late and I missed Lottie! Will have to find it later on catch up. Lovely test from Carl, now banning anyone from getting in the way of me watching Charlotte…

Big big guns in this final group.

Waiting.....

 

[Equi]

This groups going to be hard to watch. Edge of my seat.

 

[Equi]

Wonder what would happen if you stuck the riders on different horses for a test lol

 

[Equi]

I’d like to see what IW made of everdale

Shame about the slight blip in Lottie’s test, but I thought she rode very well and it was a sweet test. She’s just done a lovely interview on Eurosport and is clearly really pleased, and made light of Everdale getting a bit excited!

Slightly off topic, but does anyone know where she’s from? I can’t place her accent.

 

[criso]

They've just announced them after the break, commentators on Eurosport are Nicky Barratt and Richard Vaughan. That's not the same as the rest of you are listening to, is it?

 

[Kat]

I do like this pair. She's another one I would quite like to see on the podium. I'm hoping that we don't have too many Germans at the top, think that's probably hoping in vain though, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we don't have two on the podium.

nope we've still got Lucinda and John Kyle.

Bohemian's passage still looks so strong and energetic. What a horse this is. Lovely walk too.

 

[Splash2310]

I’ve got Nicky Barratt and Richard Vaughan, my Disco plus was playing up this morning so swapped.

I’m enjoying the Les Mis in this test!

The 2s into the 1s were really nice.

Lol that would be entertaining!

I think it probably says a lot for Carl and Charlotte (and their horses) that they are able to pick each other's horses up with such ease.

 

[Sprat]

Those changes to the music were lovely to watch

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

Loving the music, but then I have been to see les mis 9 times…

 

[Equi]

Flawless 2 to 1

 

[milliepops]

music is not my bag but fits the horse perfectly

The music was incredible . Horse was truly dancing!! The timing must be so hard to get right

 

[NinjaPony]

Great music! The transition from the 2 times to the 1 times was excellent, seamless work. Bohemian is such a strong secure horse. Great to watch!

 

[palo1]

Wow. Bravo Bohemian!

 

[Caol Ila]

Wow. Hope Catherine Dufour scores big for that.

 

[humblepie]

Gosh loved that one.

 

[milliepops]

what a brilliant score.

 

[Equi]

87!!!!

 

[Kat]

Woah that is a massive score!

 

[Sprat]

Thrilled for her, she well and truly deserved that score
