[Kittykins]

10s for the trot. Very well deserved.

 

[JFTDWS]

piaffe doesn't compare to Rubi's but his 2nd was much better than his first, and looking great into canter and the two times...

lovely canter HPs and the one times are tidy and lovely!

 

[lar]

Can't cope with watching it live! Can only cope with reading the updates on here. Is it really on mainstream TV? Wow!

 

[pootleperkin]

Look at Carl's hands.......so light

 

[JFTDWS]

I can hardly see the lead changes through his dark legs

 

[JFTDWS]

[Andalusianlover1]

Well done Carl!

Go go go Team GB!

 

[Trolley Hunter Type]

what a fantastic score

Hes miles ahead and we have Laura and Charlotte to go yet.

 

[Mondy]

The big Dane who rides like a Dutch next.

I'm Danish but tired of my Rollkur-using compatriots.

And after watching Carl's ride this just looks even more horrible, forced and rackety than usual.

 

[KingfisherBlue]

Yay for Carl and Uthopia. What a joy to watch.

Come on Team GB!

 

[ChiffChaff]

God I love that man, and that horse. Such a waste...

Were the judges at "M" and "H" watching the same test as the one at "K"?
Great score

 

[JFTDWS]

very swishy tail and tried to pish off into the hp by the look of things. Not the straightest of horses, seems a little wobbly

really sharp between collected walk into piaffe - looked like she took a pull and got more than she asked for :/

very swishy tail and tried to pish off into the hp by the look of things. Not the straightest of horses, seems a little wobbly

they don't look very harmonious

 

[Toast]

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