not quite on centre line

 

[Rachel_M]

Very off the centre to start.

 

[piaffe]

This polish guy looks odd. His hat looks to big, or something isn't quite right!

 

[somethingorother]

lol! nice image there. Have to admit i had thought the same though.

 

[jules89]

im not sure he has a neck!

 

[Rachel_M]

The horse was all over the lane coming down the centre.

On the forehand in the extended trot.

French TV just saying Galan started limping during the warmup but that he was fine before that. Not a word about a lunging accident... Was schooled by Nico this morning and everything was going well...
Poor Nico... Hope Galan has nothing too serious.
France definitely out of the race

 

[Rachel_M]

Horse not really reaching in the walk, not truly relaxing.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I'd agree the judges are trying to give the marks, just keen to give more to some rather than others

 

[Jiffy]

The high collar on his jacket doesn't help the look.

Is that what it is? LOL

He also rides like a chicken (flapping his wings)!

 

[only_me]

horse looks quite relaxed!

 

[jules89]

this is a really nice horsie

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Nice horse I must say

 

[Rachel_M]

Good halt.

 

[only_me]

57
not bad...

LOL though at the horse's name - WAG

 

[jules89]

wow i didnt know that horse was a footballers wife. god knows what the footballer looks like! haha wag.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Made me giggle that the horse was called WAG though!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

I'm now drooling over this beautiful grey! Stunning!

 

[Rachel_M]

Hey, this guy has stolen a forum horse and turned him grey!

 

[jules89]

does ne one else get confused with alex hua tian and yoahiaki oiwa? because alex is with fredericks and yoshaki is with the hoys! but they r both tall and japan/chinese and both ride greys! lol
might just be me...

 

[only_me]

why can so few of the riders halt straight?

 

[Rachel_M]

This horse is doing nothing for me personally, paces wise.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

What a lovely extended trot

 

[hellsdarkrose]

I noticed that they can't halt straight as well.

 

[Rachel_M]

I felt that he was rushing his test somewhat.

 

[only_me]

PMSL at nothing below a 6... but nothing above a 6 either!

 

[Rachel_M]

Nice extended canter, brought it back well. Seems to be relaxing a little more now.

Change wasn't brilliant.

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Ah - that missed change is a shame

 

[Rachel_M]

Okay halt, well done to the rider.
