just spotted this, lol, not an expert I just find it interesting to read about. um... yeah the degree of difficulty calculator thingy is really complicated and you can get additional parts of score for good repetition of things, the transitions between different exercises carry different weightings etc

Awww CC, PRE's are never plain...not to us anyway!
I thought his piaffes were lovely! The Portuguese and Spanish horses generally do lovely piaffes.
the only thing i can think, is that he did a funny turn before the last bit of trot prior to the walk, it looked like a half circle in passage but was perhaps intended as a piaffe piri? if that was the case it may have pulled the average score down as the on-the-spotness was reduced? speculation on my part.ok the bloody piaffe question again, the marks for fogoso for piaffe ranged from 7 to 8,5, i can understand why he gets less marks for his movement especially in the extended ones but i am at a loss about the piaffe, i was expecting a couple of 9's, how someone can only give him 7 is beyond me. i am quite angry now
yeah disappointing, his music is usually brilliant. perhaps En Vogue isn't up for the big tunes yetCan I just whisper that I didn't especially like the music for Carl and en Vogue - lovely to watch the movements but music was a bit bland for my choice!! Take note Carl hahahahahahaha!!
