[Slightlyconfused]

Love that test for USA the music was fab and love the rap bit at the end.

 

[HufflyPuffly]

Loved the end !

 

[Zero00000]

Just caught the end of that one, lovely horse

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Woo hoo, come on Fiona 😊

 

[shadeofshyness]

Go Fiona! (Watching in the corner of my screen on mute in the office!)

 

[Tasha!]

Oh no, she did exactly the same as valegro in the special and cantered in the half pass >.<

Eta: shame, she fudged the 2 times a little and broke into canter on the final line. Loved the music and pi/pa though.

 

[Dunlin]

Wow that extended trot was something else, also thought the one time changes were lovely to watch.

 

[Honey08]

Eek. One or two mistakes there, but some lovely work too. And Mike Tucker actually shut up, which is a bonus.

 

[shadeofshyness]

Is there any sound sweeter than that of Mike Tucker NOT speaking?

That looked a lovely test apart from the half pass and the end.

 

[Jenni_]

Fiona rides with her curb reins quite loose at times doesn't she?

Love her horse.

 

[MCTM]

I know Mike and Ian are being quite good, but is there an option to watch without commentary (like they did for Olympia I think?)

 

[Tasha!]

He had a bit of a 'mare with the tempis and final piaffe. No pun intended

 

[SpringArising]

Is there any sound sweeter than that of Mike Tucker NOT speaking?

Ugh so true. I instantly mute as soon as I hear his voice now. It's so monotone and his pronunciation of certain words is infuriating!

 

[Apercrumbie]

Eee I missed her test at work! What was her score?

 

[LeneHorse]

Thought the Irish girl did a lovely test for her first time at an Olympics - the music really suited her horse and her finish down centre line was excellent.

 

[dixie]

76.018 - scores are very close for the first 6 except the American who has 79.393

 

[C1airey]

Prize for the best music definitely goes to the Irish so far!

 

[Slightlyconfused]

For some reason I don't like this Dutch horse....seems not very Coordinated..... Im probably off my game today

 

[Shadowdancing]

No I think you're right Slightlyconfused comes across a bit... untidy?

 

[Hannahgb]

It looks like two seperate horses. Loads going on in the front but hind isnt matching

 

[ElleSkywalkingintheair]

Ears flat back a lot of the time too

 

[Hannahgb]

I love this Danish horse!

 

[Michen]

WOW!

 

[Elbie]

Come on carl!!!

 

[Slightlyconfused]

No I think you're right Slightlyconfused comes across a bit... untidy?

Yes I think that's the word I was looking for.


Go Carl!!!! barney ignore the Pokemons!!

P.s I don't think.i can watch! &#128584;&#128584;

 

[shadeofshyness]

Willing Barney to not be trying to catch 'em all! Come on Carl!
