Tokyo Eventing Dressage

I'm all caught up now. Obv top placings were amazing I really liked the swedish rider and jessie Campbell's test. Ollies test was fab but Michael Jung's was on another level. Was very hard to recover if they didn't get a good medium walk to set them up for a transition to counter canter. Im pretty sure I that pure dressage horses are trained in straight flying changes earlier than eventers so it wouldn't interesting to see if they trained her earlier in their career would it help.
 
I was going to stay up and watch but had my second Covid jab this morning and feeling very poorly (after zero side effects with the first one). So might be a bit of a stretch!
 
Nap plans were scuppered by a family emergency, going into this after waking up at 7am but I am caffeinated, full of sugar and hopefully will be able to watch at least some of it tonight
 
Think my horse must have been watching it - individual show in showing today we got walk to counter canter rather than walk to true canter but hey we went with it! Just watched Michael Jung - the half passes and flying changes set it apart for me.
