This very good test that Lucinda is doing is not great news for team GB...

ETS - bugger, that's pushed Mary down one.

Lucinda's test is going really well. Finding it hard to feel pleased for someone who has deserted us though!! Do you think she would have made our team?

She must have a massive amount of pressure on her though :-(

She's been USEA Young Rider twice, so probably knows a bit about pressure. You'd put her more in the Georgie Spence/Laura Collett group - young but VERY well trained, mounted and supported - so not really like the rest of us at that age!

Also, used to it. :)

I may eat my words tomorrow but I did think all along this was one of the BIG things in her favour, that she's good in the clutch, and I think she proved that today. Sometimes it's not about what you can get done when it's going well, it's about what you can accomplish when the breaks don't run your way.
 
Mm, it was a pretty nice test! The spooking didn't really "ruin" many of the movements and the other aspects of the test - movement, accuracy etc were very professional.

Scotty made the point yesterday it's very hard to judge accuracy watching on tv and some of the people who have received unexpected marks have done so for that reason alone.
