[jules89]

is there a limit to how long they can be?

 

[lizzie_liz]

This could be an interesting test!

 

[Rachel_M]

Not very straight on the centre line, wonky when starting off after the halt as well.

 

[Eira]

Oh dear

Very uppity

 

[lucym]

o dear

 

[Rachel_M]

Very tense horse, broke in canter when asked for medium trot.

 

[Rachel_M]

Not really showing an extension in the trot down the long side, just picked up speed.

 

[only_me]

new thread up and going for those that want , or i can delete it?

 

[Eira]

HOLD ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[somethingorother]

oh deary what an unhappy horse

 

[sunflower]

Oops!

 

[Rachel_M]

Oh dear, poor rider. Horse is rearing, really going. This test is going to be right at the bottom. Just breath and start again, good man.

 

[only_me]

damage limitation test...

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Oh dear

 

[Rachel_M]

Horse is really like a wound up spring at the moment, not relaxing but the rider is doing a brilliant job trying to keep him under wraps.

 

[jules89]

i thought he was going to fall off then

 

[lizzie_liz]

He got to the end which is the main thing.

 

[jules89]

wouuld he get eliminated if he fell off after the final halt??

 

[only_me]

halt. and canter piroette. poor man

nice horse though!

 

[Rachel_M]

Far too early with the change, second change improved moderately. Horse played up at the halt. This could be 70's

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Oh bless him

 

[Bounty]

I think he got it to settle really well considering the horse's original plans, and the atmosphere etc.

Hats off to him!

 

[somethingorother]

very well ridden for a very stressed horse. He should be proud even if it didnt go to plan, he's young and its a great experience.

 

[SilverSkye]

Cant believe how well he managed given all the upset it must be sooooo hard to just continue on such a tense horse.

 

[jules89]

19!!!!! blimey and already at the olympics
he has a nice position
i wonder if hes single lol

 

[kerilli]

ooh, naughty pony. well sat kid!

 

[seabiscuit]

Hunk alert !!!How gorgeous is that rider???

 

[only_me]

how old is rider?

 

[lizzie_liz]

oh dear 78.50

 

[Rachel_M]

That is the sort of test we all have nightmares over but what a level head young man. Kept his head, didn't lose it and carried on. Pat on the back for him and there is always London 2012.
