Results say Parzival retired?! Was anyone watching what happened?

 

[eggs]

Looks like he got his tongue over the bit

 

[Shadowdancing]

Was he going alright or was it going awry?

 

[only_me]

Parzival looked well, showed no signs of stress etc. one side mouth More frothy but Certainly looked well enough! Was going well and showed some lovely half pass

Weird

 

[PolarSkye]

He looked "lacking" and stifled but he wasn't being naughty, but it is possible he got his tongue over the bit. He's getting on now - perhaps she felt he wasn't "right" somehow?

And now the next one (Ron?) was led in - and horses chin appears to be on his chest already

 

[only_me]

Wow, this is a beautiful test from rothburg!
Very impressed!

And a well deserved 77.8

Can't believe rider is 21!

 

[Shadowdancing]

Moves lovely but tight in the neck and sometimes looked to drop behind the vertical (personal opinion)

 

[eggs]

Fair play to Adelinde retiring Parzival as she felt he wasn't quite right following an insect sting yesterday

 

[only_me]

His test really flowed though & horse has so much presence! Can't believe horse is only 9

 

[PolarSkye]

I just want to say to many of them so far "just let the neck out a fraction - be brave, put your leg on and let them travel" . . . of course I would poo myself lavishly if I sat on any of them, but I'd just like to see them give the energy somewhere to go . . . know what I mean?

Absolutely.

 

[PolarSkye]

Blimey - this is a BIG horse.

P

 

[Shadowdancing]

Is this Mexican horse huge or is the rider teeny?

 

[PolarSkye]

I think he's a moose. I love him. He's not really got the activity behind for pure dressage, but he'd do a stonking Working Hunter .

P

 

[PolarSkye]

He's lovely - he's all round and chunky - and as Starky says, well-balanced for such a big lad. Plus he's grey. I'd have him .

P

 

[PolarSkye]

He's got a massive crest (the big grey), what's his breeding - anyone know?

P

 

[only_me]

The Spanish horse is massive - that crest!

His front feet are also very boxy, just noticed. Not much room between head and neck though

They've just said on bbc that security in stable has been doubled as a bullet landed in the stables

[Biska]

Mike Tucker is getting all his facts from the H&H Rio formguide, shame he hasn't done a little bit of independent research!

 

[TheOldTrout]

Well done Fiona!

 

[Sarah_K]

Lovely test from Fiona. Was a joy to watch

 

[Honey08]

Has she had marks yet? I've missed it all today.

What day is the freestyle to music? I've got to work early tomorrow til Sat, not sure I will catch any dressage.

Does anyone know where I can watch on catch up? The link I was live streaming from on BBC Iplayer no longer has any option to watch.
