Today's dressage

[JFTDWS]

Not a patch on the harmony of GC and Rubi, or Carl and Uthopia, no...


piris pretty blech. (from one who wouldn't even attempt a piri at all )

 

[JFTDWS]

Is that a small horse or is she a huge woman? They just look an odd pair to me :S

Now that I ain't sayin' nothing about.

I'd be on my 14hh pony, and look even more ridic

 

[Mondy]

Clearwater used to be such a nice horse before she got him. And yes, she is massive. No offence intended.

 

[Hollycatt]

Ohh - I loved Carls test. So forward and balanced. You got the feeling Carl could have ridden up to a 5 bar gate and popped it. So many of the other horses are so restricted and tight. I do love the D line horses floppy ears though

 

[pootleperkin]

Anky about to come in......

 

[JFTDWS]

Anna Van Olst done and looking to be a very low 70s score. 72.063% final score

Anky van Pullyourhorse'sfaceintoitschest next.

 

[Mondy]

Oh, and the pretty lady in the sunglasses in the stands was the Danish princess Mary, alongside the crown prince and the king-to-be. FYI. ;-)

 

[BobbyMondeo]

Anky now.....

 

[Pale Rider]

Well, the bitch is back.

 

[BobbyMondeo]

seemed to be a very quick halt and salute...it looked she almost didnt even stop

 

[Mondy]

Anky van Pullyourhorse'sfaceintoitschest next.

You should definitely replace the Bland BBC Woman.

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

"You are watching on eof the all time greats" Said the commentator as Anky trots round with her horses chin on its chest

 

[ChiffChaff]

Well, the bitch is back.

LOL!

 

[JFTDWS]

You should definitely replace the Bland BBC Woman.

I think I edited and messed up your quote I had a crisis of confidence

 

[shadeofshyness]

I was enjoying it up to now.
Ew ew ew.
I wish the commentator lady would stop singing her praises.

 

[JFTDWS]

extended trot, really good.

Or if you were watching what I saw and not silly BBC woman, it had massive foreleg action and not much behind :/

 

[JFTDWS]

piaffe just rubbish compared to Rubi and Fuego...


Apparently it will be disappointing for us not to get to see her riding in the Kur.

I think I could live with that "disappointment"

 

[pootleperkin]

Who chooses the background music? Is it just on a loop or do the riders request it?

Not a patch on Uthopia


"lets all hope she gets through" i for one hope she doesn't get through!!!

 

[Kittykins]

Bit of a love-in from the commentary team, isn't it? Didn't hear these sorts of remarks for Carl...

 

[pootleperkin]

Yukky changes

 

[JFTDWS]

currently sitting around 74%. If she scores above the one I keep harping on about, I will probably cry...

 

[BobbyMondeo]

Horrible changes...horrible horrible.

 

[Toast]

'you are now watching dressage at its very best' Excuse me? What about Carl?!

 

[shadeofshyness]

"Anky's army"

Is this an actual thing or has the commentator made it up?

 

[Kat]

Loved the bit where the comentator suggested that the judges should put their specs on when they were giving out 7s for Carl's test!

 

[JFTDWS]

horse doesn't look to be enjoying himself to me - very rigid, tense, tail swishy and pulled in.

piris yucky by the standards of today too...

 

[Kiristamm]

Who chooses the background music? Is it just on a loop or do the riders request it?

I was wondering this, Carl had an amazing Queen song, lots of string instruments!

 

[pootleperkin]

I think he meant in general Toast, not particularly Anky... !!

 

[JFTDWS]

"little early to trot but not many judges to see that"

so that makes it ok, then?
