Lovely rhythmatical moving mare

 

[scats]

Beautiful test from Gareth.

 

[RachelFerd]

Lovely test. But does it not matter in dressage if you don’t establish immobility in the halt?

it does, but suspect they give some leniency for horses moving in reaction to crowd cheering.

I really liked that test - just looked comfortable and consistent throughout.

This a very tense looking horse. Lots of tail swishing.

ETA keeps sticking its tongue out.

Loved Gareth’s test, I’ve really love his horse, for me she is what a dressage horse should be, such harmony, love her . On the other hand I don’t like hans peters test

Yip, enjoying this a lot less than Gareth's

I agree. The elasticity of movement and floating action is unmistakably Glock. The tension is, too.

Gareths was a beautiful test and a happy horse but Glocks test was more dramatic and artistic so will be interesting to see what the marks show.

 

[splashgirl45]

WOW!!!!!!!!

 

[misst]

Lottie!!!! Amazing

 

[teapot]

I'm more excited to see Ingrid's test -ducks-

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Wow. Loved the music choices

 

[SadKen]

… and that’s how it’s done.

 

[Hobo2]

Now that test was dressage to music !! Well done Lottie.

 

[Snow Falcon]

That was a rather nice test!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

If you’re going to be the best rider on the best horse, you might as well also be on a black stallion. It’s almost a cliche

 

[scats]

My god, Lottie’s test was unbelievable!

 

[Ample Prosecco]

It was wonderful

 

[splashgirl45]

I felt quite emotional watching lotties test it was sooooo good

 

[Surbie]

oooh this is the one I have been waiting for!

 

[RachelFerd]

And glamourdale had his own celebration..... ?

 

[RachelFerd]

Love that Ingrid is still riding in an old Passier saddle with no knee blocks ?

 

[Ample Prosecco]

Love Ingrid too. Just a great horsewoman

 

[teapot]

Love that Ingrid is still riding in an old Passier saddle with no knee blocks ?

She's a goddess.

 

[RachelFerd]

Love Ingrid too. Just a great horsewoman

To me I prefer the contact and outline with this horses even though it has maybe been less perfect overall

 

[Surbie]

Love that Ingrid is still riding in an old Passier saddle with no knee blocks ?

I was wondering what the saddle was - fab to see one without the knee blocks.

One handed too! Loved watching that test.

 

[humblepie]

He looks happy in his test.

 

[RachelFerd]

She's a goddess.

Not bad for an event rider.

Joking.

She's a class above as a horseman.

Helen's having a bit of tug o war with Annabelle today...

 

[humblepie]

I like Annabelle. Front and back end really match. Prefer to the huge front end moving ones. Like how did the piaffe to split the walk movements
