MOORLANDS TOTILAS - 92.300%

I think the music for his routine is incredible. It enhances the routine and makes it even more spectacular than if he was trotting around to the sounds of Abba. Thats my opinion anyway hehe.
 
Over 10% between 1st and 2nd place!

Thing is, yes, he's amazing and yes, he deserved to win it with an amazing score BUT he still has room for improvement. He is only nine. Will we be seeing him score 99.9 or 100% by the time he's fully established? At this rate the judges will need to be careful they have marks left to give him!

I don't want to take anything away from what was essentially a stunning performance, but I'd be interested to see a breakdown of the scoring - hopefully it'll be published? H&H?

whats lovely to see, he is so quiet in his body, so in balance. I know horses get swishy tails when they are doing the expressive movements, but his tail hardly moves - he is just so relaxed. Awesome animal and with so much balance despite all that movement!

And he has the best piaffe by a mile, hardly moves an inch!
 
I was one who really didn't like the fact he didn't match in front/behind at Windsor - what a difference last night - amazing test and so much improved

He was incredible, much better than at Windsor (which was pretty bloody good). I really, really, really HOPE that this isn't the last time we get to see Edward riding him, they are an amazing partnership.

What a horse. Those pirouettes - I've never seen anything like them.
 
It was a night to remember his performance pure class and it is the ease and relaxed way he works that sets him apart for me. Pure talent and to watch Edward Gal just grin through out the test shows they are having a ball and there is more to come.
 
Agree totally with Maestro. He just looked so calm. It seemed as though you could have heard a pin drop in there & what made me laugh was the commentators barely spoke throughout their performance. Definitely first class.
 
wow!

even if you don't appreciate dressage you have to enjoy just watching the partnership between Edward and his horse, the horse looked relaxed, attentive, responsive, and from what I could see Edward looked light in the hand and was asking with the most minimal of aids their understanding of each other is fantastic
 
I was so lucky to see just them - I couldnt believe it when dad let me put it on at 10 and they appeared!!!

He looked amazing , although my dad kept saying its so un-natural so I gave him a good talking to about it.

I just love the way the horse always hangs his head afterwards - as if to say 'Yeah so what, its easy - all in a days work for me'

It was also lovely to see Edwards smiles afterwards and giving the horse a big hug. Makes it seem more real
