Is it just me or did that horses canter look odd?

 

[Rachel_M]

Nice extension.

 

[PapaFrita]

Why wasn't that horse plaited??

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Thankyou so much Tri_Konj!!!! I've found it on 81!!!

Like this horse!

 

[jules89]

fair right shoulder in only a liuttle wobbly
agreed btw weezy! not sure about the hind end but a nice extended trot

 

[Weezy]

This could be a very smart test.

 

[lizzie_liz]

I like this horse. Dad is providing commentry!

 

[Rachel_M]

Something about his far hind leg, the action seems a little off..

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Now you've pointed it out MHB I see what you mean

 

[jesterfaerie]

PF, it is thought that they may have been causing him to become more tense with them in.

 

[Eira]

Very strange canter !!

 

[jules89]

my mum just said, and i quote..."nice little snaffle its got in its mouth there nothing special " i was like...its dressage!? (and my mum rides its not as though she doesnt have a clue! ) haha

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Nice extended canter!

 

[jesterfaerie]

It seems to be a lot more normal now then when she first went in but she still looks very off behind.

 

[Rachel_M]

Horrid canter. Sweet little horse but not a natural mover.

 

[PapaFrita]

Oh, thanks for that! I assumed that they HAD to be plaited.

 

[Flibble]

Could someone nip downstairs and put kettle on my OH has gone sailing!!

 

[Weezy]

I think the hindlegs are almost stringhalty in action.

Accurate and well ridden, shame about the last fly changes, I reckon it SHOULD be 44s (going by last night) but I don't think they will mark her that well, I reckon a 49.6.

 

[jesterfaerie]

I think she did quite a nice consistant and smart test.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I'm betting 53.2

 

[Rachel_M]

Lol, and when you are there could you grab me some lunch, I am starving and can't pull away from the computer!

 

[Weezy]

6s and 7s - sorry but how does she get a 7 for riding when that bloody woman last night who was balancing on the reins get 9s!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

56.3!!! Harsh!!

 

[Weezy]

56.3 - FFS that is incredibly harsh.

 

[oinkmoooink]

Does anyone have the link to the thread with the start times? cant find it- what times the next brit on?

 

[Eira]

56.3 ?
Seems fair ....

 

[jesterfaerie]

PF - I would have thought so but I am unsure on the rules so cannot be sure on that. Surley it would have been better to plait but slightly looser so he looked a bit more presentable?

 

[jules89]

56 fair mark

 

[jules89]

ohhh this will be good ive been looking forward to this

 

[Rachel_M]

I am sure we are not the onlys who are questioning the result.

Could it be the good old "american" tag having a hand?
