Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

[Wishfilly]

Very nice airs above the ground!

 

[Equi]

Definitely not happy with those piaffes

 

[Wishfilly]

Oh dear

 

[TheMule]

Well that’s a well practised evasion! What a shame, stunning horse

 

[milliepops]

just gets stuck doesn't he. you can see why she tried to keep that piaffe creeping.

 

[NinjaPony]

Oh dear, that’s a shame for her! A bit too uphill….
She’s handling it very well, kudos to her.

 

[DabDab]

Hehe, that is definitely something they have done before

 

[milliepops]

Lucinda has commentators-cursed her at least twice now! said he was lovely in the contact and then he ducked down, then said the 2s were lovely just as he missed one! urghhhhh

 

[Equi]

Get this last piaffe horsey!

 

[Equi]

Oh good boy lol

 

[milliepops]

safe! what a shame such a lovely looking horse.

 

[DabDab]

An itchy bed?!? Oh Lucinda

 

[milliepops]

An itchy bed?!? Oh Lucinda

yeah that's definitely the problem

 

[NinjaPony]

Such a shame because it’s clearly very talented, lovely outline when he’s playing ball. She rode that last line extremely well all things considered. That slow motion rear also highlights how good her seat is!

 

[Equi]

An itchy bed?!? Oh Lucinda

Wel it’s one to add to the list for anyone asking why their horse reared on them ?

 

[Wishfilly]

58% that must be disappointing as it started so well.

 

[milliepops]

ouch, 58

 

[Wishfilly]

Yes, incredibly well ridden.

 

[milliepops]

Wel it’s one to add to the list for anyone asking why their horse reared on them ?

yeah be sure to mention that to the judge next time you have a bad test, it's not my fault, he had an itchy bed hahaha

 

[scats]

An itchy bed?!? Oh Lucinda

She’s said that twice now. Very odd.
Next time Millie throws a wobbler out on a hack, I’ll blame the itchy bed..!

 

[milliepops]

does she have mite-infested bedding or something?!

 

[DabDab]

Waves small team Swiss flag ???

 

[DabDab]

I love the extended trot on this one

 

[splashgirl45]

i like him,agree about the extended trot back end working as well

 

[scats]

Ooh, that wasn’t very pretty.

 

[Equi]

I want to watch frozen now

 

[milliepops]

poker straight 2s

 

[Equi]

Oh misses one

 

[NinjaPony]

This Swiss horse has an exceptional hind leg but the piaffe/passage is all looking a bit sticky and I’d like to see a bit more relaxation in the contact. Contact looks better in the canter work. Seems to need quite a lot of leg, it’s less polished than some other combinations we have seen.
