Shame about the marks, but they should both be very proud of that test

 

[TarrSteps]

Bit harsh! Mind you, they're all that way so as long as they keep to it that's fine. Let's hope they don't have a subconscious rethink over night.

 

[Javabb94]

Nicola deserved higher IMO!

 

[TarrSteps]

This mare has a foal competing! Now that's cool.

 

[Malibu_Stacy]

Nicola deserved higher IMO!

this, that was a far better test than Boyd's IMHO

 

[Goldenstar]

Little harshly marked I thought

I thought so too I am biased though.

 

[vallin]

Tutu tut tut at the commentator for making negative comments about crash hats and tails

I think most of us are!

This is an...interesting...test

Nicola's should have been sub-50, harsh marking. I hope that shuts all the people who said their dressage wasn't good enough up - amazingly good, soft, concentrating test, even after all the applause when they came in - kudos to Nicola for staying so relaxed and patting him so he didn't get tense.

100% agree! Definitely should've been less than 50, she did so well not to get annoyed at the crowd either and just waved to them instead!

What was Linda Algotsson's accident? I say well done her for wearing a crash hat.

[Miss L Toe]

[Chocy]

Can't make it out is the Belarus horse got a bogged mane going on? Doesn't look plaited 2 me

 

[SpottedCat]

Are hogged horse allowed in this discipline?

Yes, no rules about manes or tails!

 

[georgiegirl]

Feel very sorry for the girl from belarus - certainly a very attractive horse just a shame he was so tense!

 

[Chopandchips]

Who's commentating? (they say the only stupid question is one that is not asked! )

[SpottedCat]

Actually really impressed with the girl from Belarus - ugliest bridle in the world aside - she stayed very calm when her horse was overwhelmed, and patted him at the end with a smile, no getting upset with him.

Ian Stark and Mike Tucker I think
