Sal looks amazing.

 

[LindaW]

some cracking combinations to come now...

 

[jesterfaerie]

I would love a Sal baby!

 

[somethingorother]

god that horse is amazing. So shiney!

 

[lucretia]

now i shall prepare to be amazwed

 

[jesterfaerie]

Something, don't think it is just his coat, he looked to have been worked hard in the warm up, he is very sweaty on his neck already.

 

[somethingorother]

oh bugger i can see he's just sweating cobs now! :S im going to blame my rubbish pic quality

 

[jesterfaerie]

He is just so leggy!

 

[Santa_Claus]

Shes in now but her extended trot in the warmup wwas awful as was that one just now. Yes looked very impressive but was not tracking up and was just doing nothing behind! He is looking relaxed though so 75%+ easy unless something goes majorly wrong!

 

[Booboos]

also thought the extended was disapponting.
Piaffe was super though

 

[lucretia]

the woman is a genius

 

[icestationzebra]

How long do you think she warmed up for before this test?

Nice to see her pat S then....

 

[Halfstep]

Perfect pirouette. Lovely.

 

[jesterfaerie]

Her pirourett was very small!!

 

[Santa_Claus]

very good pirouettes just hate that he keeps dropping back behind the vertical and doesn't get marked down for it!!

 

[Booboos]

nice changes and super pirouettes

 

[lucretia]

its supposed to be and i should think about an hour

 

[jesterfaerie]

icestationzebra, no idea but he is VERY sweaty, he was before he came in so I dread to think.

very bad hault, he kept moving slightly

 

[lucretia]

muppet about the final halt though

 

[LindaW]

Bit of an oops halt though, shame

 

[Skhosu]

shame about the halt

not bad otherwise ;p

 

[somethingorother]

how the hell did she gets 5s for the halt??? there was no halt! i think the name may have helped her there.

 

[jesterfaerie]

74.750% for Anky!!

 

[burtie]

There is hope for us all, did I just hear Anky get a 4 and a 3 for her halt!!

 

[Halfstep]

He comes a bit croup high in the canter work which loses the self carriage. The Piaffe is stunning and he was very open and up in the trot work.

 

[Santa_Claus]

wasn't far off with 75%

There was no immobility in the halt but yet still 5's but try find a judge brave enough to give a 2 or 3 for it never mind a 0!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Oo this grey is VERY fresh

 

[skewbaldpony]

Why do they keep insisiting on saying Emma was in 'silver medal position' she wasn't. She was in second, but it's a team comp and they weren't in silver position!!!

 

[Skhosu]

oh dear!

 

[lar]

Oooh poor chap! I know that feeling!!
