CM Are they meant to be updating the results/start list thingy as it goes along?

 

[Llwyncwn]

Yes, he kept his legs on very firmly.

 

[brighteyes]

Think he's objecting to the aids a wee bit. Seen it before, so it's not just his action or your dodgy pc! Fair bit of tail swishing going on, too.

 

[icestationzebra]

Just had a quick look - struck by how different these horses look to the eventers! That last horse looked huge!

 

[burtie]

The canadian rider looks a bit out of their depth to me.

 

[Booboos]

were Orion's quarters trailing in the half-pass? I am still not sure what the correct angle for the half-pass should look like.

 

[somethingorother]

does anyone know when Anky is on?

I can only dream of being as good as the worst of these so i cant really comment on mistakes, even the 'bad' ones are still amazing to watch.

 

[Santa_Claus]

urgh to me that piafe is horrid, horse overbent and not carrying the weight behind at all. Got a feeling much more of that to follow though....

That last bit was very straight

 

[Booboos]

Favourite so far?

I missed the first one, but it would have to be Floresco (sorry Team GB)

 

[somethingorother]
