Help! Have to go out when GB riders are on this aft - what do you think my best bet will be to record (seeing as we cant record interactive) Eurosport or BBC HD?

So Aurellio got 74.06. Those botched one-time changes really hurt.

I actually like this big horse (Ravel) better than Aurellio but perhaps he's older, more established.

I lent it to him. He needed a bit of Alfs superior talent to rub off on him!

I did think it was a bit off that you refused to take Alf and represent Team GB yourself
Never heard of patriotism, clearly 
eta - doubly bad, you were helping the yanks
76.381% for the American Steffen Peters?

LOL. Does that mean he'll lend you the horse in return.

I thought he might consider lending me his non-dodgy hind legs by way of thanks!

It wasn't me! Alf said he'd rather not go out in public until I worked out how to make him canter!

does Fuego remind anyone else of Donkey?

He would be so ashamed if you couldn't work out how to ask for canter in the middle of a GP test

Re the team scores . . . is the final team score an average of the top 3?. US Team score overall is 72.456.

Fuego looks like my idealized version of Kali . . . in reality Kali looks more like, well, an overgrown Grey Donkey .

if you take the three scores posted, that gives you an average of 72.111 so maybe they are carrying some over from previous rounds?? I really don't know though

little tense in trot HP, but mostly a lovely test so far from Fuego - great piris, lovely tempi changes, nice extended canter

I dont understand the scores either but did assume it would be the average of the three team riders scores.
So are team GB in with a really good chance of gold?
Im just thinking if USA are in the lead now (I know they are the only ones who have all been), their scores have been 76.254 70.651 69.302 and that has put them, Team GB are fingers crossed, capable of all coming way ahead of those scores.

Same here. I'm hoping when Fergs greys out he will mature, like a caterpillar into a butterfly, into a Fuego

Actually, he reminds me of the horse in Tangled (can't find a picture).
