Dressage Freestyle to Music Thread

[Hedwards]

That felt very tense and looked very behind the vert particularly in the changes...

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

Sorry Edward but your horse at times is quite btv and looks tense to me

Very tense and tight through the neck, although inexperienced horse and gal hasnt had him long so lots of potential for the future, depending on how he trains him of course

 

[Mondy]

The rules for freestyle specify that the music should correlate to the rhythm and footfall of the horse - Edward Gal does what he did with Totilas, using bland la-la music which doesn't do anything of the sort. Now stand by for ridiculous marks...

 

[redcascade]

Didn't like that at all, thought he rode very strong from the hand and the horse was btv a lot!

 

[Louise_88]

Love Gal - master rider IMO.

 

[4x4]

The crowd liked it!

 

[JFTDWS]

Zu-sayn Wittgenstein for Denmark with Digby.

Like the music at least, it's less dirgey than recent riders.

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

80% odd, you cannot be serious!!

 

[angelish]

well i enjoyed edd's test

it's nice to see him back at the top level with another lovely horse

 

[JCWHITE]

Digby, at last, decent music!!

 

[JFTDWS]

So many levels on which I am unsurprised

 

[wellsat]

Can't we have some slightly more interesting music? Not struck on this one.

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

I love that this horse is called Digby

test going nicely too

 

[Renvers]

what's music ?

 

[Emilieu]

Ooh I like this one.

Prob means its rotten if my taste so far means anything

 

[trottingon]

Didn't understand any correlation between Edward Gal's test and the music, was completely wishywashy again! Thought the music needed some semblance of a beat or a rhythm in order for it to match the footfalls of the horse????

 

[ChiffChaff]

I thought Edward's music was DULL, and therefore the test DULL ( )

This isn't setting my world on fire either, but isn't bad. I want fire and brimstone! Rousing beats! Or pop songs to modernise the sport. Rubi should be winning based on all of the above

(I am hugely uneducated about this btw...)

 

[4x4]

Like Judy's remark to MT about her father playing the music!

 

[JFTDWS]

what's music ?

glenn miller? according to comms.

 

[Caol Ila]

Don't like her music.

wait for Fuego

 

[trottingon]

See this music at least has some thought behind it!!!!

 

[claracanter]

' But doesn't the music frighten the horses'
Bless my teenage son!

 

[wellsat]

One of the best tests I ever saw was at last year's nationals ridden to Muse. Makes the sport much more accessible to the general public.

 

[vallin]

wait for Fuego

ditto this

 

[4x4]

At least they knew who she was this time!

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

wait for Fuego

and Valegro - I suspect Charlotte's music will go down *very* well with the crowd

 

[JFTDWS]

Anky and Salinero up next.

Yes, that is what it says in the rules, but the Olympic judges don't seem to care very much about them...

 

[JFTDWS]

79.018% for Wittgenstein

*voms* at MT talking about "Anky's Army"
