Olympia Kur Thread

[Abbeygale]

Oh dammit... Should have gone to do horses late nights already. Don't want to miss any of the rest

 

[Bearskin]

Who are the judges at B and E?

Love Nicky Crisp's horse. Toots very talented but reminded me too much of Parzival in his way of going.

 

[vallin]

IIRC then they can do what they want as long as they do all the compulsory movements and it needs to fit the music too!

Cheers That's what the commentary seemed to be suggesting but I wasn't sure

 

[vallin]

Let's see what Uti can offer us

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

breathtaking

 

[Saxon]

What is the music for his extended trot?

 

[carthorse]

Thank God the commentators have shut up

 

[robthecob]

Just beautiful isn't it makes me a bit emotional

 

[Hedwards]

He's just another level to all the other competitors so far...

 

[vallin]

Is it just me that is a bit underwhelmed? (excluding the changes which were fab) There just doesn't seem to be as much of a spark...

 

[Bright_Spark]

Blimey, never heard MT so quiet for so long.

Carl and Uti, we salute you

 

[Goldenstar]

Beauiful and sad .

 

[alwaysbroke]

Beautiful to watch

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

I think the dutch could learn something from watching that, just in another league completely

 

[KatB]

Awesome, so so sad its the last time we'll see them together

 

[robthecob]

I definately wasn't underwhelmed it felt easy where others have felt laboured and it was a better test than he did at the Olympics. It was just lovely

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

Totally agree Natwood, pure harmony!

 

[WandaMare]

Wow that was amazing, gave me goosebumps! Really pleased for Carl

 

[Javabb94]

WOW I was really hoping he would use the same music! That extended trot and that music is incredible - quite emotional actually!

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

is uti sold now then?

 

[dressage_diva]

Lovely test by Carl as expected Definitely in a different league to others - such harmony and horse looked a lot more relaxed than many of the others.

Looking forward to seeing Michael's test too I think he has a very bright future ahead of him (can't wait until Farouche is a little bit older!)

 

[I love my Spanish horse]

Am liking michael's test alot, nice fun music too

 

[Wilbur_Force]

Michael is a lovely young man. He loaded my naughty William on to the horsebox for me the last time I was at Swallowfield

 

[vallin]

Defo Rio contenders this pair

 

[dollymix]

Lovely test (I have a soft spot for big grey mares!!) can't wait til farouche is at this level

 

[kirstie]

Did Michael make a mistake in the 2x changes?? Judy Harvey adament that he did but I didn't see it?

Great test though, great music.

Go Carl!!!!!

 

[DuckToller]

Did Michael make a mistake in the 2x changes?? Judy Harvey adament that he did but I didn't see it?

Great test though, great music.

Go Carl!!!!!

Just what I thought - didn't spot it either! Are we missing something or did she have a different angle and mistake the mare's big movement?

 

[Super_Kat]

Isobel's horse has a really jerky front leg action, not a fan

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

Not keen on this one it doesn't have the same level of relaxation as Carl!

 

[kirstie]

I think she didn't realise he was on a circle at first and made an error and didn't want to go back on herself.
