Olympic Dressage Third Session Thread.

[Rachel_M]

Just to make sure we are all ready and eager to go.

Who are we all waiting to watch?

Plus, with the Australians dominating the dressage they are going to have a fantastic leg up on the rest come the second phase.

 

[PickledOnions]

I'm going to join in tonight

I couldn't keep up last night.

 

[Rachel_M]

Just watching a replay of Kristina's test. Lovely horse.

 

[PickledOnions]

On BBCi? yeah, i'm watching that.

 

[Ezme]

[kerilli]

[PeanutButterDragon]

[Spot_the_Risk]

If I can get my OH off his Playstation, I can get settled in for a bit of dressage on the BBC!

 

[Ezme]

never been a fan of Kristina cook after i saw her unesscercarilly using the whip on her horse on the XC at burghley a few years ago. But shes on the team so...

I agree. I thought the marks were harsh for the test, considering what other partnerships had got that night and they were in no way the same.

 

[teapot]

That's probably the best I've seen Tina ride (someone I always try and watch) Beautiful test and deserved a better mark IMHO

 

[jules89]

ooo did neone else hear all the other gossip about touzaint? first they said he fell over lungeing then they said he fell over in his box, but i didnt realise that he had actually entered the main arena then left again!!

 

[sea_view]

Half 11 it starts am I right - just so I'm organised, crisps, wine, etc!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

A bit like the Brazilian horse (the Chestnut), that blew up and started to rear.

I still say what a brilliant ride, considering that many might have lost their cool at that moment.

Yeah, the new footage has started!

 

[jules89]

ooo it seems to be a bit cooler there in hong kong
24oC atm

 

[Ezme]

why didnt the listing say they were showing highlights before.... grr!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I think the french line was that he was upset in his stable and injured himself during the typhoon and then NT just wasn't happy in the warmup

Lol, there is a fun thread in SB if you want to find out the origin.

 

[PickledOnions]

24degrees C and 92% humidity

ETA: at 6:30am!

 

[jules89]

*swoon* you mean the hot one?! phwoar

 

[kerilli]

jules, i don't think he entered the main arena, i thought he was working in in a different arena and decided it really didn't feel right. was watching BBCi at the time and he didn't come in and trot round the main arena (well, they didn't show it if he did!)
looking forwad to Ingrid Klimke's test in particular.

 

[icestationzebra]

That horse is stunning. Beautifully ridden test by Tina and yes agree, that was worthy of some extra marks along the way. I'm pleased for her - she deserves a good result.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Beautiful sunrise

 

[jules89]

i read earlier that he entered the arena then "shocked the crowds as he left immediately after"
still must be such a huge blow for NT and he is so phenomenal. i did my french oral at AS level on him and he was so fascinating to learn about
joe meyer - thoughts neone?

 

[Ezme]

what a weird canter around the outside!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Nice entry

 

[seabiscuit]

Oh Snip is just gorgeous!!

 

[Rachel_M]

He has a funny front leg action, don't you think?
