Reporting in for a night of live dressage!

Me too. Just wondering if there is a way of sending it from my phone to tv, don't have sky etc but using vodfone discovery+....

Interesting first session - some big names

You might be able to cast to your TV. I use a laptop and plug in using HDMI.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

I may have to play about a bit-will get the child on it tomorrow!?

My tech skills are limited!

[teapot]

I need to get a hdmi cable tomorrow, not watching the xc on my macbook

 

[teapot]

83% humidity!

Evening everyone. Glad someone is up. It’s on BBC1 at the moment.

 

[Honey08]

This Thai horse doesn’t look good. I know it’s new to them and I would be worse!!)

 

[RachelFerd]

This Thai horse doesn’t look good. I know it’s new to them and I would be worse!!)

Nope, but I wish them all the best with what seems like a terrible draw for possibly least experienced team

 

[teapot]

What a lovely honest horse though.

Let’s see how Ollie goes!

?for Oli

Yes, not quite the outline you’d expect at this level!

 

[teapot]

Ollie looks tight/tense or is it just me?

Don’t blame him mind you!

 

[Honey08]

I think Ollie gets a lot more nervous on a team.

it’s a funny little test. The camera is at such a strange angle it’s hard to say how it’s going.

 

[Lexi_]

He looks to have eased a bit now! Riding beautifully, I think.

 

[TheMule]

Well that horse is the very definition of obedient

 

[Lexi_]

It’s definitely going to take some getting used to such a short test! Feels like blink and you’ve missed most of it.

 

[RachelFerd]

I preferred canter work over the trot. Solid start but won't lead for very long I don't think!

 

[Honey08]

Nope, but I wish them all the best with what seems like a terrible draw for possibly least experienced team

absolutely, and the rider looked really happy to be there.

Good mark for Oliver, don’t you think?

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Strange test isn't it? Wasn't fussed about the rein back was he?

Difficult camera angles?

 

[Lexi_]

Oh that’s a very good start for us. Well done Oli!

 

[OrangeAndLemon]

I'm glad I didn't have to try and sit that trot! That looked bouncy. Well done Oli, 23.6

 

[RachelFerd]

I still absolutely can't believe that Tamie Smith isn't running for USA. She'd potentially be an individual medalist with a sub-20 dressage

 

[RachelFerd]

Armchair critic here might be slightly concerned about saddle fit. It definitely wasn't assisting the bounce. But what do I know ???

 

[teapot]

Feels like an express speed test

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

It would be all I could just about remember!? (not this level though!)

 

[Bellaboo18]

Feels like an express speed test

I quite like it! Get them through and let's get on with the xc ?
