Dressage Freestyle to Music Thread

[Willeeckers]

Sadly yes 4x4, in favour of those sat on WB's not the iberian horses

 

[Hedwards]

At least the music in this one is slightly better...

 

[wellsat]

We need a breakaway dressage league. Sod the FEI.

Good idea. Which horse actually looked like it was enjoying its job?

 

[4x4]

Well what do we know after all? We are mere spectators.

 

[SusannaF]

Is it just me (totally understandable) or is Desperado struggling a bit?

 

[Louise_88]

Fuego got a brilliant artistic mark - which he rightly deserved but they weren't as smooth as they can be and that showed in the final score. Loved the one times!

 

[4x4]

Judy just said she's going better than she did in the Grand Prix special. Really?

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Is it just me (totally understandable) or is Desperado struggling a bit?

not just you, I thought his first piaffe looked particularly scrappy

 

[Mondy]

Ravel and Rubi.

 

[kirstys 1]

Me too!

 

[JFTDWS]

I don't like Desperados's piaffe / passage style. It looks sticky and unbalanced to me.

 

[Louise_88]

I think to be honest that most of these horses look like there enjoying themselves.

 

[wellsat]

Tell me that isn't going to beat Fuego? No passion in that routine.

 

[JFTDWS]

Langehanenberg and Damon Hill up next.

 

[Caol Ila]

He looks on the forehand in the canter pirouettes.

 

[Brontie]

The commentators are driving me insane! Absolutely pointless broadcasting dressage to music if you're going to talk all over it!

 

[Willeeckers]

Agreed it all just looks a little hassled and pushed

 

[longtalltilly]

It's beautiful but is it just me that watches wondering if the rider practices roulker (sp?)

 

[Madcow]

Brontie, I so agree with you.It's driving me mad too!

 

[Louise_88]

Personally that test did not deserve that score!

 

[JFTDWS]

81.375% for Sprehe

 

[4x4]

Why did she get over 80?

 

[redcascade]

I really liked that, still don't understand why Anky got such a high score....

 

[Madcow]

How the heck did that get a score that high? Perhaps the judges have sun stroke!

 

[JFTDWS]

Why did she get over 80?

Search me

 

[SusannaF]

81.375% for Sprehe

?????

Rubi and Fuego, come join the League of Actual Dressage.

 

[holzrokz]

I just love fuego! What a stunnning little horse!

 

[JFTDWS]

They've cooked in their little green houses.

The riders will be having a judge bbq after the event

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

2% higher than fuego, absurd

 

[rosied]

Wtf are these judges looking at, the marking is deplorable the horses who are correct and classically ridden are being penalised, when they are clearly head and shoulders above many placed before them

Joining the party late, but I just wanted to add my voice to the support of Rudi and Fuego and sympathetic classical riding.

I think the judges are biased against Iberians/for Warmblood.
