Olympic Thread

[Weezy]

Not impressed with Gandalf I am afraid, a tentative start IMO. Not the best fluidity behind.

 

[teapot]

thought the same L!

ETS: look at the sweat!

 

[Ezme]

his quarters went astray on guite a few occasions i must say, shoulder in and final halt esp. Great to see toddy about tho

 

[nic85]

I was suprised too.....

this is a stupid Q but how do they mark the dressage in the Olympics?? As in would you rather a lower % or a higher % ??? does that make sense??

 

[Weezy]

ooops bet Kyle will be peed off with that spook at salute! Already this horse looks more impressive and eye catching.

 

[teapot]

the higher the perecentage but it's converted into penalties, so the lowe the pentalties the better

 

[Weezy]

Good GOD can you see the sweat dripping off the poor guy - that gives an idea of the heat and humidity - wow!

 

[Rachel_M]

The bay looked very stiff to start with.

I feel for the riders, they are dripping when they finish!

 

[myhorsefred]

Did you see the sweat dripping off Kyle Carter's (on the bay horse) face and onto his jacket! Thought it was raining for a second, then realised it was sweat!

 

[H-J]

what channel is this on?????

 

[Ezme]

i like this canadian horse, think he's a bit of a all or nothinger tho. either fantastic or a bit of a spaz

 

[nic85]

[jesterfaerie]

Grr I have only just managed to get the reception on the tv good enough to watch it, my signal is really bad

 

[Ezme]

you'd think it'd be like normal events/dressage when you get special consideration to remove jackets/tails when its hot

 

[sunflower]

I nearly missed Toddy - took me ages to find the link on the BBC site!

 

[Weezy]

WOW, 20 marks away from Gandalf - I think I look for the wrong things

 

[H-J]

Oh well I dont have BBCi!

Will have to wait till 12, its on BBC1 then I think

Or even 2am!

Maybe ill go to sleep!

 

[Rachel_M]

Do we know what order them are coming in?

 

[Weezy]

There is another thread with the listing on - Daisy is 9th and WFP is about 2.30am

This horse isn't the best mover

 

[teapot]

Ghost of Hamish looks knackered already!

 

[Rachel_M]

I know this may be an awful thing to to say but I wouldn't want that German horse in my stables.

 

[littlemisslauren]

the sweat!!! oh my lord they are melting!!

 

[weevil]

You can watch it through the BBC website - that's what I'm doing

 

[zoeshiloh]

Not overly impressed with dressage so far - canadian horse was extremely tense. Thought Mark Todd's horse did a bad dressage, but then its hardly like he's been schooling it for years like some of the others.

Does anyone have a running order?
