The thread of all Olympic Threads

He's a lovely progressive sort Karin's horse

I really like him

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

The Belgians sure know how to pick the most handsome and talented chestnuts.

I wonder what their breeding is

 

[Barklands]

Clarke Johnstone may have had a silly pole but he definitely gets the gold for being the smiliest in all three phases

I did like hearing Liz's "woah... Woah" through the combination

Leipheimer Van't Verahof (Karin's stallion) is by a Belgium WB ex TB

 

[Michen]

I kinda like this French horse. Sort of simple easy way of going.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

And whoops another fence down

I kinda like this French horse. Sort of simple easy way of going.

The way the pair go in the SJ reminds me a lot of Luca Moneta's style, very relaxed natural frame

Despite one sticky moment, Frida Andersen is going to finish on her dressage score.

Back home from work and TV is on just in time for Julia!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Well done, great Olympics for them

 

[piebaldproblems]

Krajewski's just made it look way too easy, another clear round

 

[fidleyspromise]

No Boyd Martin

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Super

 

[piebaldproblems]

No Boyd Martin

He's in now. Interesting that they swapped.

ETA: They had the same score (32.10) so the Olympic page was probably just wrong about the running.

 

[fidleyspromise]

Curious

In fear of sounding absolutely insane... has Boyd always been USA? I was sure he was Aussie or NZ sounding?

 

[airliner]

Bruno jumped absolutely out of this world

He was born in Australia but has an American parent

 

[fidleyspromise]

Fab

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Well done Boyd

Aussie but jumps for US

 

[piebaldproblems]

Janneke's another to be finishing on her dressage score

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Champs ears

 

[Honey08]

She’s done really well.

 

[piebaldproblems]

The French are really not having a great time SJ today (not that I was complaining in the team round). This is Landois's second fence down today.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Haven't all the french horses had a pole now? Been quite a few clears

 

[alexomahony]

Aussie but jumps for US

That makes sense thank you - thought I was going mad.

 

[piebaldproblems]

Falco finishing clear with almost 5 seconds to spare!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Great round
