Rio Olympics - Eventing Dressage Day Two

41.9. I thought he'd have been higher than that. His face looked as though he did too.

Not me - I didn't like it . . . liked the horse, didn't like the test overall. Seeing how little the horse wanted to reach out/relax in front, I wonder how he rides it at home.

So... I've been wondering something all afternoon - do the riders get a test sheet with scores and comments at this level? Same question applies for the pure dressage later on in Olympics too? And for all eventing comps?

Thanks!
 
Interesting comment there about the horse being ridden too short in the warm up, but then allowed to come out in the test...

And yes they have done much better work, but hey, first Olympics..

We need Ingrid to do a poor test!

A little annoying when he was selected on his dressage scores though. So hope their inexperienced team choice doesn't come undone tomorrow.

Germans will stay in front of us whatever Ingrid does. She could fall off and they'll still be ahead.
 
Does anyone know what time the last rider goes XC tomorrow? It's my wedding anniversary and we're meant to be going out! Want to book for after the Xc!!

Yea I know. I thought she would nudge Chilli, but it looked nervous even outside the arena.

I just don't want Ingrid to widen the team points above us, and want William to stay in the lead.
