Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

[DabDab]

Shame about the extended canter and the piaffe, but I really really like that horse

Looks like there was an issue in the zig zag too, but the coverage was jumping around and screeching at that point so who knows!

This horse is the same age as mine. So by that logic mine should be doing all this also ?[/QUOTE

Noooooo!! Just stop it...

 

[milliepops]

let's take the target rider age as someone more like Carl's age rather than Lottie Fry though shall we?!

 

[DabDab]

Oh that's a shame, but at least the horse is keen I suppose

 

[milliepops]

that was a smart zigzag i thought.

 

[Equi]

Quite a few mistakes in this one lacking some oomph

 

[milliepops]

yeah we get so used to seeing the likes of Charlotte who has horses that don't appear to have particularly noticeable weak spots, so it's nice to see slightly less stellar combinations like this horse, who has a real talent for passage but some of the other stuff is less strong.

 

[Equi]

Ooh this is a pretty boy. I like them a little chunkier

 

[scats]

Oh I like this!

 

[milliepops]

this horse is pretty stunning

 

[scats]

My dad has really perked up watching this one

 

[DabDab]

He is a very good commentator. It's not Ian Stark is it?

 

[Equi]

Aww shame for the mistake hope it won’t cost her too much

 

[Equi]

Ahhh ?

 

[palo1]

I love this horse - shame about the mistakes but he is just super.

Just checking in, joining the thread after this morning's hack! Nice to have commentators today!

 

[milliepops]

this horse has some of the iberian feel about his power, but he's by desperados

 

[Equi]

Overall a decent test think he got a little flustered

Yes, he is stunning and so expressive. Such a shame about the odd mistakes but lovely to watch.

 

[Walrus]

Lovely horse...such a shame about the mistakes...he is a powerhouse!

 

[Equi]

I don’t much like these peaked hats

 

[Wishfilly]

Not to be partisan but the scores so far look good for Carl to qualify.

 

[milliepops]

I don’t much like these peaked hats

i was just thinking i thought they were elegant

 

[Equi]

Wonder if they’ve been reading this thread, less close up shots in walk lol

 

[Wishfilly]

Enjoying this Danish combination!

 

[Equi]

i was just thinking i thought they were elegant

They remind me of polo hats ?

 

[Equi]

This is going well so far

 

[Equi]

It’s John!!! Lol

 

[palo1]

Daft observation but I think the helmets would be so much nicer if they weren't so shiny!! Very elegant shape, nice and close to the head but I hate the reflective quality.

The commentator is John Kyle ? I’m enjoying his information!
