The thread of all Olympic Threads

[LadyGascoyne]

Is Carl's horse called Fame or Flame?? I thought it was Fame.

It’s Fame sorry I’ve got Flame on the brain and on the predictive text because I’ve been looking at a very different horse (10.2hh pony) for a friend and it’s called Flame

 

[Honey08]

Flame quite suits him.

@LadyGascoyne I've just watched Becky and I loved it! Such a good consistent test, good in the frame, good in the contact, accurate, and she was amazing at knowing just how much she could ask without pushing for too much, give him another year and the marks will be higher, there is much more to come, but she judged today to perfection, absolute brilliant job from both of them, their partnership really shone.

eta: just watched Vayron, also beautifully ridden, but Vayron is a much bigger mover than Bomba and that big movement caused problems.

Last few tests are live on bbc1 now if anybody doesn’t have discovery +

Well Kittel is showing a nice example of hind legs not matching front legs!

 

[JennBags]

Is it me or does he throw the right fore out much more than the left fore?

nice to be consistent.

Oh thank you. I have discovery but have to stream it from my tablet so the quality isn't brilliant.

 

[Snow Falcon]

Have just watched Becky's and Carl's tests. I do have to say I preferred Beckys as there seemed less tension. Fame was tighter but Carl rode so well.

 

[teapot]

Nick Luck is such a welcome sound compared to the Eurosport guy

 

[Tiddlypom]

I thought that, don’t think it was just an optical illusion due to the one white sock?

I wasn't sure but I don't think it was just an optical illusion.

 

[Tiddlypom]

The Dutch horse is scoring very highly despite being very tense

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Eeeeeekk….

 

[Tiddlypom]

Super start Lottie

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Some absolutely beautiful moments here!

I can't watch as in car (not driving!) so following along on thread and live scores. My fear was/is that as we get nearer the end we would see more tense tests, being scored very highly.

 

[teapot]

Bronze for def then at least

 

[Snow Falcon]

His extended canter

 

[Equi]

A high score for lottie well done team gb

 

[teapot]

Dafour needs to get 78.039 minimum to go ahead GB, which is a given I feel?

More than likely, unless theres a few mistakes

 

[Kadastorm]

So far, Freestyle is looking absolutely fabulous. She is always a bit fussy in the mouth anyway. So it’s highly likely they will go ahead of us unless there are a couple of mistakes.

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Well we have to support a British horse and our team have done exceptionally well.

 

[scats]

I’ve always loved Freestyle.

 

[Zoeypxo]

Have to say this is my favourite horse so far

 

[LadyGascoyne]

Well done! Well deserved. What a horse.

 

[fraggle bells rock]

Also following the thread as have had to go out

 

[pistolpete]

Freestyle is a stunning horse.

 

[Kadastorm]

Absolutely deserved that score. Fantastic. Freestyle is so gorgeous and looks like she loved it
