The strength's not quite there yet for this Australian ride but they're definitely a pair to watch for the future.

It was great. I feel very privileged to have seen two olympics as I did splash out on dressage tickets for the 2012 games.
The equestrian and swimming were selling this time for up to 980 Euros as so popular. We did look at getting SJ tickets for yesterday but at 350 euros that was more than our tickets combined for hockey, athletics and volleyball.

This test isn’t going smoothly for Finland is it.

It's getting better though, some nice moments in the trot work a moment ago coming onto and above the vertical but it's like there's not enough energy in the hind to maintain any real collection.
For a reserve, it wasn't half bad.

Bless Nicky, I don't think she knows how to dumb down the sport. She could just say the half pass is a sideways moment, instead of going on about bend through the body.

Well recovered from that understandable startle.

I'm having to duck out for a bit but will catch up on Discovery later. Great that Becky's score is still leading. I don't care if we don't win. I want to be proud of our riders for presenting harmony and happy horses.

Tuned in about halfway through the Austrian's test. Tighten up your helmet strap, sir!

Jolene (France) is tense and it is not a pleasant picture.

Wow 980 euros
I quite like that she's explaining why the marks are less/more for different movements.

It won't be long, we're quite a way through the second riders. Might even be next!

Is she second or third rider? I assume she's German, in which case either shortly or at the end.

The Swedish rider is doing a great job of containing her horse.

Did you forget a not or are you just really desperate for GB to win?

The white fluff around the girth is distracting.
Noisy constricted sounding breathing. He’s right on the edge

He seems more settled than the previous test but the horse breathes like a bulldog.

Agree, moves big but doesn’t seem so happy based on those noises?
