I actually cried at Fuego's test! Partly at how lovely it was, and partly because I knew the judges would have their "Anky glasses" on and would never give them a fair score.
I'm horse shopping in a couple of months' time and will be actively drooling over any Iberians. Both Rubi and Fuego were fantastic and made the others look so flat and boring.

In the slo mo, does anyone know what kind of shoes fuego has on, they look aluminium, covering the whole of the foot, with a shaped rolled toe

Just as long as the biase continues as far as recognising correctly trained WB as fingers crossed that would work in Carl, Laura and charlotte's favour...

Very much so, it had been improving with horses like fuego setting a new standard and proving iberians can actually extend and do a decent walk. Todays judging has just sent it back completely the other way though, with no just cause whatsoever. Makes me so angry after everything we have fought for to get these horses recognised in top level dressage, when overbent, poorly schooled and tense wb's are being marked higher for doing a lesser performence

Love it!
And thanks for the welcome.
I think part of the problem with CRC (and having higher-level competitions) is that a lot of the people into classical riding aren't so bothered about competing, although that is perhaps partly because of bad experiences with judging...

I have yet to see Desperados and Sprehe compete where they are not over-appreciated.
On a similar note, it must be so frustrating for Peters and Carvalho to ride so well and find themselves beaten by some who wrestle rather than ride the horse. I really, really want the judges to explain their thinking, preferably in nerdy detail and with diagrams.

If Iberians are screwed over at International level, do we feel my highland and I might be frowned upon in our GP international debut?

Yep, you're completely right, it's just rubbish for us!
Or the CRC could stage a coup and take over the FEI's judging boards?

Haha I was just wondering what it would take to become an Olympic judge
Unfortunately (for me) I think you have to have ridden at or around that level first

Jinx!
Meh. I am so sick of seeing people enter the ring while leaning way back in their saddle and hauling on their horse's molars in a way that wouldn't be approved in the Pony Club. And then getting 80.
Am beginning to think that all nations should compete on one of their native breeds. Might liven things up.
An Akhal Teke took Olympic gold in the 1960s...

I think Fuego is in a class all of his own, absolutely stunning to watch and should have been marked higher!

Just broadcast far and wide that you adore Sjef Janssen and his wonderful wife and 10s are guaranteed regardless of what you do/what you ride.
Steffen Peters scores began to drop when he began giving high profile clinics criticising 'the Dutch method'...

Great, when I've ridden my Highland at that level, I'll apply
*dies laughing at mere thought*
SF, that would be awesome - native dressage - difficult for Iceland on their wee ponies though!

I am no dressage expert but Anky Whatever looked stiff and the horse overbent the whole time.
The whole test looked forced to me.

They'd clean up at extended trot though!

Damon Hill and Langehanenberg now for those not watching
Icelandic extended trot - what a sight for the crowds!
