Anyone want a thread for the Olympic dressage live?

[milliepops]

Just turned it on but have turned off the commentary!

Loving SP and Suppenkasper but feel that they've upped the difficulty to the extent that it makes the floorpan seem a bit random.

yeah there's a real skill to having a floorplan stuffed with things that you can still sort of make sense of in your head.

 

[Equi]

It does seem a bit random at times but horsey is trying his heart out

 

[Ossy2]

Love this music

 

[milliepops]

I have put it on ambient sound!!

All the better to hear this amazing music! Dance classics? Yes please. This is what I want more of. Way more fun and suits the horse.

predicting Isabell will have something overbearing and NOT FUN

 

[McFluff]

This music suits this horse surprisingly well!

 

[EnduroRider]

This music is awesome

Completely agree, what a great change from the norm!

 

[j1ffy]

Loved that - beautifully ridden, so light yet expressive and fun music.

 

[j1ffy]

Can't wait for the next one!

 

[splashgirl45]

lovely and harmonious but he looked a bit tired bless him..

 

[milliepops]

ahhhh factoid for those without commentary on. the riders have feedback speakers pointing into the arena so they can hear their music properly. dunno who has ridden freestyles without that at normal shows... its bloody horrible when your music is blowing away in the wind! glad to hear the olympic level has that covered

I know I should be concentrating on the dressaging but as the owner of a grey…HOW DO THEY GET THE TAIL SO CLEAN.

 

[rosiesowner]

Already liking this music. Pink Floyd - Money and straight into passage. Love it. Absolutely stunning horse.

Prayer? Sacrifice? I used to have to wash Chill's EVERY DAY in summer and every few days in winter to keep it that clean. Full time job.

Lucinda's volume has been turned down again this is a lovely horse. I'm not a big PF fan but the music does suit him.

 

[Surbie]

"Money" - sees apt for top-level dressage!

It does remind me a bit of 'Are you being Served'

may be called "having a professional groom"

 

[NinjaPony]

He’s just a stunner isn’t he. So much presence! The music really suits him too. This is so entertaining to watch, really high quality piaffe/passage and lovely changes.

 

[rosiesowner]

one handed changes get me every time!!

 

[Equi]

One handed fancy lol

 

[Equi]

That was a lovely test to watch well done them

 

[Splash2310]

Are one handed tempis a thing , I don’t think I’ve seen that before. Love how much fun he was having!

 

[j1ffy]

He has the cutest spook! What a fabulous freestyle. Those tempis!!

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Loved that test! Absolutely brilliant! Music was so good for him!

 

[scats]
