Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

save me looking away and googling, why is Beatriz riding for France now? anyone know?
eta not beatriz, sorry, the other ex spaniard!
 
I like Lucinda Green a lot (have chatted to her for a HHO article I was writing), but she does talk some sh1te as a dressage commentator.

This horse is a lot tighter in his front end than some of the others.

Is he tighter or just not as flashy/flingy infront?
He’s not my type of horse & seems a little unsure but really trying for his rider!
Of course my type is what I currently own who couldn’t be more different ?
 
Forgive my utter ignorance but in passage is the horse's forearm supposed to be above parallel to the ground? I was under the impression that the foreleg should be parallel to ground level. Total US is so exaggerated that his forearm is definately above parallel. His movement is just extraordinary...
 
Total US is not the finished article yet but I have to admit I am extremely impressed with his athleticism. Whatever you think about Totilas/EG, the talent is undeniable, and he has so much power behind as well as in front.
 
the other thing that's improved noticeably at this level is the walks really, they used to be brittle and irregular and tend towards being lateral, there's definitely been a big upward trend towards correct walks.
