Olympic Dressage - Thread 2!

[jesterfaerie]

Well done to him, I am happy to see that he retired her, the right thing for her.
He must be gutted.

That grey needs a good gallop!! Lovely looking mare.

 

[Skhosu]

he just retired?

 

[Ferdinase514]

What happened to him, missed it

 

[lucretia]

you have to feel sorry for someone having to retire

 

[jesterfaerie]

Yes he did, I don't think she was going to settle. So he did two nice half passes on her then retired her.

 

[Booboos]

poor guy in after Anky, to get that far and have to call it a day!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Finn, the mare was just not playing, in the extended trot she cantered and was leaping around so he retired her as she was just very excitable.

 

[CastleMouse]

Well done Anky (I put down €50 on her

) but poor guy

 

[lar]

Was a shame because I thought the half passes looked good - but very sensible because it was clear the horse was just going to get more and more upset.

 

[Ferdinase514]

Poor guy

 

[somethingorother]

aw poor guy, so glad he retired, especially when she was rearing at the end, would have been unfair to keep pushing her n winding her up. Brave decision. GORGEOUS horse tho, i always like the ones that play up lol.

 

[lucretia]

the horse was a nutter from the first moment Finn

 

[jesterfaerie]

I really REALLY admire him to have come so far and to have retired her.

 

[jesterfaerie]

OO AT is in hospital!

 

[Halfstep]

Briar next. He's lush. Rider not bad either LOL

 

[lucretia]

tucker cant resist mentioning amy tyron even in the dressage!

 

[somethingorother]

wow this horse is very flash looking mmmm nice *drooling* lol

 

[lar]

More shots of the warm up - they appear to have an arena each certainly for the last few minutes anyway.

How the other half lives! No getting run over by unconsiderate beeches there!

[LindaW]

Back end is in the next county in passage

 

[Booboos]

I thought the feed was in slow motion when he was doing his passage - how brilliant!

 

[jesterfaerie]

A LOT of trail swishing!

 

[Skhosu]

[jesterfaerie]

[annunziata]

[Halfstep]

A bit short in the neck I think, and a bit of head tilting going on. But isn't he a beauty?
