perfect halt

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

great halt!

 

[jesterfaerie]

42 ish looked a very nice test

 

[jules89]

anyone notice the other extra change on the centre line? very straight centre lines even the change on it too! haha
shame
i rekon a low 40s...hopefully

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

well . . . until it wasn't sustained!

 

[lucym]

well maybe not so perfect....

 

[Jellicle]

What a shame about the extra changes close to the end there, and the last halt.

 

[RachelFerd]

marisu - such a lovely partnership, totally correct, totally rhythmical, no tension ... pleasure to watch!

 

[Eira]

Beautiful Test so far .........

oops spoke too soon

 

[lucym]

early 40s, maybe,im not good at guessing

 

[dieseldog]

I didn't like the german grey - he was very flat to look at.

 

[jesterfaerie]

I would love to take that grey home!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

37.8!

 

[hellsdarkrose]

wow 37.8

 

[jules89]

37.8! brilliant
could have been lower without the tempi changes!
brilliant
well done marius n co

 

[Rachel_M]

Brilliant. I always route for the dentist!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Shame about his mistakes but still a great score.

 

[jules89]

hey its the fat man scotty was giggling about last night! hahaha
loving his yellow shorts

 

[jesterfaerie]

Tea break!

 

[lizzie_liz]

Didnt think it deserved that mark as was although fluent was lacking some spark

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Breaktime

*trundles off for a cup of tea*

 

[jesterfaerie]

He wasn't very extravagant but he was consistant, accurate, fluent don't really think he didn't deserve that mark honestly. Very nice test.

 

[somethingorother]

Yeah i think that mark deserves a slightly better test but as said he was consistant and parts of it were lovely. Time for some lunch now me thinks... see you all in 15

 

[Rachel_M]

I disagree, I thought he did. He may not have been the most extrovert but, bar the tempi changes, he was precise, accurate and relaxed.

Dressage tests, in eventing, are not about how much razzmatazz you can get, it is about showing accuracy and good training.

 

[jules89]

absolutely totally and utterly agreed
if it was all about the razzamatazz then we w ould all have to have big flashy warmbloods! (i cant really talk i have a belgium warmblood!)

 

[lizzie_liz]

It wasnt a bad test, just thought it would be a low 40's not a 30's test.

Lunch time!

 

[lucym]

is the break 15mins?

 

[jesterfaerie]

razzmatazz, great word!

 

[jesterfaerie]

Yes it is 15 mins.

 

[jesterfaerie]

Glad they got rid of that music!
