Olympic Eventing Dressage Thread

[Puppy]

Well as mine is retired and playing 'who can get the muddiest' with her little welsh companion I don't think I'll bother

 

[Puppy]

It will be interesting to see how Andrew Hoy goes.

 

[Marydoll]

I really like this horse

 

[starryeyed]

andrew hoy's horse is gorgeous.

 

[Marydoll]

With AH o board i expect a super test

 

[TarrSteps]

The horses are getting noticeably more relaxed. It's quite warm and humid in London today, which has to be helping some, and the later start gives the teams much more time to manage the horses optimally.

 

[NinjaPony]

Nice test from Andrew Hoy so far, its good to see so many relaxed horses. Love the super white tail, my grey's tail is very white but that's because I am OCD about it and it gets washed with purple shampoo every week!

 

[Marydoll]

Ooh well held together, shame the crowd let rip befor hed completely finished

 

[Puppy]

Ooh, I like Scotty being outspoken!

 

[TarrSteps]

Ooh, Ian! He's right though.

It will be interesting to see the score breakdowns.

 

[Slightlyconfused]

That was a great test.

 

[Marydoll]

Yep that was a lovely test

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Being very dumb.... Is it only in eventing you can wear a grackle in the dressage?

(no medals for the cycling guys for those interested )

Am awaiting Ingrid's test

Just watched the end of the cycling So sorry for Cav

 

[Puppy]

What happened in the cycling? I'm glued to the eventing.

 

[teapot]

Every other nation let the GB team do the work which isn't of huge surprise so were knackered.

Such a shame though, they'll be gutted

 

[Marydoll]

Aaargh, i need to muck out but need to watch Butts Abraxxas

 

[teapot]

Ingrid next... (are we allowed to be really unsporting, however good her dressage always is? )

 

[Marydoll]

Hes a stunning boy

 

[vallin]

Ingrid next... (are we allowed to be really unsporting, however good her dressage always is? )

Most certainly!

 

[Laafet]

Weird the Olympic page, which has been behind a bit put that last score up way before they announced it on the live streaming?

 

[teapot]

Think the warmth's hitting them now...

 

[vallin]

39.3 and into the lead for IK

 

[teapot]

So which nation(s) haven't had a third rider today? GB, Brazil, Japan, Sweden, anyone else?

 

[Laafet]

Sweden, New Zealand. ETA plus the Dutch, all their scores count as there are only three of them.

 

[Puppy]

NZ - they still have CP, MT and AN to go.

 

[Laafet]

Oh dear, error of course. Well most of us have done it at some time

 

[Puppy]

This Dutch horse is very muscled under his neck.

 

[starryeyed]

Day well spent! Look forward to more of the same tomorrow.
Suppose I'd better drag myself outside and go and ride mine now!
