Olympic Eventing Dressage Thread

Brave test from CS, if Jiff's canter work matched his trot the score would have been amazing! 47.2 (or .8?) is not to be sniffed at though!

I think she was a bit, at least relative to some of the other scores. And she (with David) has been working so hard on his dressage - that's not even his best score. I thought he was pretty tense though and a mark or so off every movement would have been costly. He also climbed a lot in his lengthenings and that's gotta hurt.

All that said, well done her.

That horse is one of the few at this level who is a bone fied ex-racer, with 44 starts to his name, and he's not the easiest on the flat.
 
Yes but the horse is ignoring them well!

ETS I've been pleasantly surprised by all the Japenese riders - the have all been very quiet in the saddle :)

Oi, cheeky! ;)

I'd say maybe slightly more benevolent that at the very beginning but that's pretty much par for the course. Also, Teams will have put their more reliable combinations on today.

Generally I'd say the horses are slightly more relaxed today, perhaps partly due to the weather and the accompanying dampening of the atmosphere. For many this is a bonus but it does tend to make the tense ones stand out more.

Short answer ;) , I don't think it's way off, no.
