Wasn't that convinced by the extensions (canter not tail) but otherwise lovely but you're right maybe too laid back!

 

[Halfstep]

That was a lovely test.

 

[kanter]

Awsome.

Trying hard to refrain from clapping in the office......

 

[LindaW]

into 2nd place, I honestly preferred it to the german horse though.

 

[Halfstep]

70.417%. Brilliant for the USA. I love that horse.

 

[volatis]

my day off!! Just waiting for a perspective buyer to come and see one of the foals (fingers crossed)

70.417 - another good score. With just 3 riders on the team no way can I see GB recovering from Jane's score to get that bronze medal

 

[brighteyes]

70? Ridiculous

Look, she loves him.......

 

[skewbaldpony]

ROFLOL

How annoying must that musak be?

Agree, the overall impression of the test was more fluent, however the judges are allocating marks for individual movements so maybe there were technical differences?

Still a great score though.

hmm i sort of agree with you, let's hope Laura B can pull something impressive off in the indv.

 

[skewbaldpony]

Is it me or does this Brazilian chap keep flapping his left elbow?
I really think I ought to go and move ponies around. I need a sanity break.

 

[volatis]

I still cant get sound on mine

 

[Halfstep]

Imke next. Love her horse. Should be a plus 70% for her.

 

[brighteyes]

Is this the guy did all that showing off on one of his horses - possibly this one (waving to the crowd etc during a test?) And are his unmentionables sore

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Is it just me or does this grey look like two different horses stuck together, it is huge in front.

 

[jo1]

dont like the look of this grey thats on now - missed the beginning so not sure who it is LOL . neck looks HUGE to me and overbent - back end looks weird as well

 

[jules89]

whens it on tv?!?! im sad i cant watch it computer doesnt like the live viewing

 

[kanter]

Is it just me, or does anyone else scrutinise the saddles when the riders dismount to see which ones they are using? Quite a few with external blocks.

I'm failry sure that's not allowed

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Realise now the grey is entire, would not be putting any mare of mine to him, really do not like it.

 

[clairencappelli]

Blimey, this grey looks like an elephant in a dressage horses clothes. It just looks very very odd and out of proportion to me.

 

[brighteyes]

PMSL

 

[brighteyes]

This one seems to have a fly bothering it.

 

[tinker512]

we have a loose tongue!!

 

[Halfstep]

I spotted that tongue in the zig zag.....but she tucked it back in LOL. Not as nice a test as the American's I think. 70.875%. Generous?

I didn't think so either, judges disagree though!

Not much hope for team GB now

 

[LindaW]

Lets hope we can pull something out for the individuals then. These things happen with horses - the buggers

 

[Booboos]

Went off to ride and just back (seemed to have missed the best bits) are we at the break between Imke and Carlos Pinto?

 

[Rachel1]

yep Imke's just ridden
