I thought she was very harshly marked in her second test (watched it Saturday night). And thought that she and the horse did a really lovely test.

Anyone else feel the 'Anky' effect rather got to the judges, and her marks far outweighed her performance. A totally soul-less test I thought.

Yes big thank you's for posting I hadn't seen it either. I must say I think she was robbed, it was not a faultless test but it was (in my humble opinion) far superior to some others I saw!

And my god can I just say what fantastic reach Lancet has in his half-pass, and the bouncy in his passage/piaffe. What a wonderful horse!

Interesting on another HHO forum SJ thread that Will Connell posted this on his daily report
"Meanwhile, rumours are abounding of a meeting involving the Dressage Ground Jury and other officials and some of the nations competing after the Grand Prix Special last night. Perhaps details will come out later...I feel like I’m writing a spy novel full of twists, turns, secrets and double dealing, not a sporting diary. "

Sounds like more than GB supporters want an explanation into the scoring from the special.

Thank you for posting that, had not seen Emma's test before, she rode beautifully and it was a pleasure to watch, however, is it my imagination or was there a mistake in the two time changes?

Do agree however that the Judges do seem to be suffering from the 'Anky' syndrome, seems the way to go is have the horse more active in front than behind

personally I think Emma's test (even with a mistake in the changes) was more correct, but hey what do I know.
