Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

[Equi]

Must have just been the angle/my eyes

 

[milliepops]

getting a little tight behind in those 1s between the piris though.

 

[milliepops]

oh yeah the most important thing is how long your tails are

What's the verdict on Dream Boy's passage? I thought it looked odd, but I don't know why!

 

[PippiPony]

76.35% for Hans Peter

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

NED 2 76.35

What's the verdict on Dream Boy's passage? I thought it looked odd, but I don't know why!

i was just thinking that, the angle of his whole legs and body seems to be that he pushes himself upwards/forwards diagonally, whereas the ones who have a more horizontal forearm sort of ping upwards and along? like a //// stride instead of sort of upside down U shape steps?

It does, almost dragging his hind toes at one point.

I caved and subscribed to discovery+

 

[Equi]

The look of eagles ????

 

[milliepops]

cooooooooooool hindlegs stepping under in that passage transition

 

[Equi]

Yea there is a defined passage and extension

 

[Equi]

Which I think dream boy lacked.

 

[PippiPony]

We can't rule the USA out of medal contention can we?

 

[Equi]

Absolutely not

 

[milliepops]

We can't rule the USA out of medal contention can we?

nope they are right up there. some very very talented combinations.

 

[Kat]

Love this American horse

 

[1523679]

not at all, this is lovely to watch

 

[milliepops]

the reach in that half pass

 

[splashgirl45]

this is looking good

 

[milliepops]

Steffen is another of those really quiet riders who just allows forward all the time, lets the horse show itself off

 

[southerncomfort]

Wish they'd show a side view of the extended canter.

 

[Equi]

Very satisfied with that

 

[PippiPony]

Loving this test

 

[Equi]

Steffen is another of those really quiet riders who just allows forward all the time, lets the horse show itself off

And you can see the horse thinking forwards too. Lovely

 

[GinaGeo]

This one is really lovely to watch.

 

[splashgirl45]

lovely test

 

[hoofprints1994]

What a wonderful horse!

 

[milliepops]

like you feel there could be even more in there, because the horse is looking so comfortable, so secure, you can imagine someone else pushing and shoving to try and get more but this correct judgement, it's really good

 

[PippiPony]

77,76% for Steffen Brilliant

 

[palo1]

It is really notable isn't it where those horses really lowering for the piaffe are different for example to IW's Bella Rose?
