The Olympia freestyle thread

[Queenbee]

****** that GS, I've got the ******* streaming down my face!!!!! I'm moved every time I watch those two,having followed them on their journey, and that music.... It's just so emotive. Everything crossed for their score. I'm not even a 'dressage' person per say but I'm spellbound!

 

[NinjaPony]

Gosh I love Delphi, she is just beautiful. Charlotte and Valegro were simply magic.

 

[Queenbee]

Well, that just goes to show how moved I was, I forgot not to swear when writing the above and now my post is full of stars.

Pmsl!


(Sorry for inadvertently swearing admin!)

Hahaaa! I think there may be more tears soon when Alf comes in and says his goodbyes to competition

 

[Queenbee]

She's only gone and done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A world record!!!!

Happy christmas Charlotte!!!!!!!

 

[Tiffany]

Valegro and Charlotte have apparently broken the world record - yippee

 

[Goldenstar]

I am not at all suprised .

 

[Queenbee]

Me either!!!! Wish they would have had the cameras on her at the time!

 

[Nugget La Poneh]

YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

MY OH was shouting at the screen to Mike to shut the eff up, we're trying to listen!!!

 

[Queenbee]

It's fab, and now Alf and Laura to the lion king....


Christmas has really started

 

[merlinsquest]

Omg SHUT UP. You have both just talked over the whole performance & ruined it

 

[Jo_x]

delighted for charlotte, really really happy.


wish someone would gag mike tucker though...

 

[Queenbee]

Hahaaa! I think there may be more tears soon when Alf comes in and says his goodbyes to competition

Yep, blubbing again.

Gonna miss that horse, love his attitude

 

[lara b]

Can't believe they aren't showing the prize giving!

 

[Honey08]

Aww, goodbye Alf, will be sad not to see you. Love that his character came through in his finale!

 

[Queenbee]

I know bad form

 

[showpony]

Charlotte and Valegro's performance was utterly spine tingling, they make it look so effortless. Well deserved world record.

 

[_GG_]

Well, they managed to royally mess up the announcement of Charlotte breaking the record...didn't hear a peep from the audience and I was expecting a MASSIVE reaction

Very emotional watching Alf...what a superstar and lovely to see him have a bit of fun!!

Merry Christmas everyone, you all just made my snot filled, sore throated night really very enjoyable

 

[bananaloaf]

Well that's just typical... I lose the battle of the remote and only go and miss a world record!

Straight 10s for harmony between horse and rider, super. Can't wait to watch a video!

 

[asommerville]

I missed it!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah where can I watch it folks?

 

[sarahann1]

I missed it too, is it on YouTube yet?!

 

[Honey08]

I think I saw a highlights programme on red button on Sat afternoon? Have a look?

 

[_GG_]

Check BBC iplayer as they were showing it live so may still be on that.

 

[Holidays_are_coming]

Just got back it was amazing, they didn't tell us Charlottes score till after Alf so we stayed reasonably calm.

Such a amazing evening

 

[AmyMay]

Missed it too, but heard her on Radio 2 this morning. I was in tears. What a fantastic achievement!

 

[lex2501]

Wow, what a magical evening!! Valegro was just a class apart and it was such a treat to see him in the flesh. Yet another, stunning and moving performance. The other highlight for me was the French black mare - imho it was wildly under marked. She was breath taking, and watching them come in for the prize giving at the end was another reminder that she was a class apart - and should possibly have occupied 3rd rather than the dutch girl. Edward Gal remains far and away the best rider for me. The Totilas sensation was not about the horse if you ask me!!

 

[AmyMay]

Totilas, will we ever see him again?

...... probably not.

 

[sarahann1]

Just watched it, I have watery eyes...

 

[AmyMay]

Just watched it, I have watery eyes...
