Rio Olympics - Eventing Dressage Day Two

I'm imagine team scores will change again given final riders but so far I like how close it is, especially with tomorrow's course
 
I like this test (and I love this horse), but I wanted to tell Ruy to stop messing with him in the extended walk - he was fiddling. But I love how easy Tom looks to send on and bring back - his frame is nice and he's being so willing.

Right - a break to go and prep dinner (strip the chicken carcass, cook off the snossages, maybe make the base of the sauce) and then I'll see you all back in here in 40 mins or so :).

Muchas gracias . . . or should I say muito obrigado . . . :)

Sauce all made - daughter number two came downstairs (rare for her, we have nicknamed her the woodland creature because she emerges so infrequently) and asked "what are you making and when are you feeding me?" It's why I cook ;).

I am now sweaty and grumpy though - it's far too hot to be reducing sauces or to have the oven on. Have cheered myself up with a nice cold glass of chablis.

P.S. Have also stripped the chicken carcass (squoze - is that a word? - the juice of the lemon it roasted with over the chicken-y bits) and cooked the last of the sausages. Just got to cook the pasta, make the garlic bread and assemble (have some pesto in the fridge that needs using up so will add that to the chicken/sausage/pasta/sauce combo.

He's so quiet and elegant. True story - met him out hacking - he was riding Magenta - I was riding Kali, who was doing his best to back into every hedge/down every ditch. I was so busy marvelling what a lovely quiet rider (and what a gentleman) Alex was, I forgot to argue with the idiot (Kali).
