Olympic Dressage - Thread 2!

[jesterfaerie]

Wasn't very forward through those changes

 

[Halfstep]

Don't think this looks like a plus 70 test.

 

[CastleMouse]

She certainly looked odd in the extension... I'm sure the judges will notice though and she'll hopefully be more than penalised for it!

 

[happy_talk]

i thought the trot extension looked very odd/uneven- weird. would love to know how well each movement is being marked.

 

[jesterfaerie]

She isn't looking too happy now!!!!

 

[Flint12]

I thought she look lame. . .saw it in one of the first movements. . .

 

[CastleMouse]

She wasn't covering as much ground or going as forward as you'd want...

 

[Halfstep]

Something not right with that horse. Shame. In her day she was one of the very best.

 

[CastleMouse]

Hmmm...

 

[jesterfaerie]

I can imagin she will have a fairly bad mark because it just went rather wrong.
Don't think she will threaten Emma!

 

[happy_talk]

what was going on with that last bit of trot work!?!

 

[CastleMouse]

She's 17 now so I think this may be one of her last major events...

 

[jesterfaerie]

She didn't look forward through the whole test
63%

 

[Halfstep]

I think she deliberately held her in the last extended trot to mask the unlevelness.......maybe......

 

[CastleMouse]

63%

 

[CastleMouse]

"I'm sorry guys, I'm so sorry"

 

[CastleMouse]

Anky's on in 15 minutes...

 

[jesterfaerie]

Her piroretts (sp?) weren't great she was very unbalanced in them imo, and form that she was very very tense and wasn't happy in the last extention and passage.

 

[dressager]

Cmon Anky! I need to go back to work soon lol.

 

[lar]

I'm glad you've all said that about Brentina as I was just thinking the same thing - thought the half pass looked very irregular but I thought it was just my untrained eye!

Durn it! lost the pictures now!

Enjoy, Anky's next...!

 

[somethingorother]

i dont know whether i want anky to be good or bad. I want to see her at her best because i do think it will be amazing, but i want us to keep individual silver!!!!

 

[skewbaldpony]

Ooh how very exciting. Honestly, 1.6% in it between us and the Danes?! What's that about. Think I must be dreaming LOL!

I bet Emma H has chewed her way through a couple of schooling whips by now !!!

 

[BBs]

Im now feeling ill, sat here waiting for Anky.

I can't post and watch dressage!!!

I obviously can't multi task when Dressage is on!!!!!

Only killing time in the break, should be working!!!!! LOL!!!!

 

[skewbaldpony]

Wonder how laura's feeling????!!!

 

[Halfstep]

Door's open for Anky now. She regularly scores in the high 70s......she could even top 80 on a particularly good day. I can't wait to see what she pulls out of the hat today.

BBC showing pics of Anky in the warm up - doesn't look to me like they will be doing a bad test!

 

[jesterfaerie]
