Olympic Eventing Dressage Thread

...seriously a break due to rain...wtf? Does that mean that Tina can come back and do her test in the dry too? Come on people- eventing in Britain, surely rain is part of it?

It was thunder and lightning! Seems to have eased off a little now though here in south east London.

 

[BlairandAzria]

Think it's to do with the thunder and lightening not necessarily the rain!

It seems to have totally cleared up now anyway!

Felt abit choked watching Tina and MF, such a lovely test inspire of the conditions!

 

[teapot]

We need WFP to do a sub 40 and for Micheal Jung and Clayton Fredericks to err have a couple of issues...

 

[jess_asterix]

What a performance from Tina in such horrid conditions. Love the smile on her face despite the rain!

Let's hope WFP keeps up his good form

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

WFP is the ultimate cool customer, fingers crossed he'll pull a blinder out of the bag!

 

[TiddlyPups]

I really like Mister Pooh, shame he's had an extra 10 mins!

Agreed..!

 

[jenbleep]

And to think when Team GB were announced there were plenty of people on here against Tina being on the team

 

[TarrSteps]

Was probably better for Tina to just go than to be held, in the end.

 

[jenbleep]

I have no doubt

....hhhmmmm well thunder and lightening didnt come across on TV and guess soggy judges need drying out so that they can see, however I would still be annoyed if I was Tina or Niklas having his prep interupted...however doesnt seem to have done him much harrm.

 

[TarrSteps]

Love the reins. Very retro!

And Toddy and AN. They have the potential to bump NZ back up the leaderboard.

I agree, but don't count the chickens yet.. there is a lot more to do before the final scores.

We will be lucky if Micheal Jung has any issues though. Lets hope some of these horses don't like rain!

 

[TiddlyPups]

Thought it might have been a little better than 45.2, think that, as they said, the canter wasn't quite there matching the trot

 

[teapot]

According to Eventing NZ - the stop was more for issues with the judges!

And mutterings about Zara's dressage too...

Damn, forgot about the kiwis

 

[cob&onion]

A brown saddle and black bridle.......

 

[Honey08]

AN looking really good here for NZ.

 

[teapot]

Crowds appear to have gone which is such a shame Even if chucks it down on Tuesday I'm not budging!

 

[ester]

well they were taking the 'hats' off the boxes

 

[teapot]

Andrew's having to work though...

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Nereo's looking very BTV in the canter

 

[teapot]

(women's road race is having some issues... )

 

[NinjaPony]

AN looking really nice Tina has done a lovely test but not counting chickens just yet, still 2 phases to go... So far everyone has gone well for GB, fingers crossed!

 

[vallin]

(women's road race is having some issues... )

Crashing out?

 

[Puppy]

Andrew doesn't looked thrilled.

 

[jenbleep]

(women's road race is having some issues... )

What's happening?

 

[teapot]

Wet roads, a couple of crashes - one girl in a true English ditch of stinging nettles... and an Italian may well be penalised for cycling in the steam of her team car!
