Did anyone else spot Tayberry ridden by the Hong Kong rider who used to be ridden by a member on here? If I recall he used to be a bit wild XC so could be an interesting watch. I would have liked to watch his dressage but gave up and went to bed after Alex will have to try to watch it back.

What was the previous rider's user name?

I cant believe that Tayberry is 20! Is he the oldest horse there?

Yes! I remember reading her posts on here years ago, and followed her on fb when Tayberry was sold. He is a lovely horse, fingers crossed they have a good run XC.

I know I could google but asking here is usually more concise!

What is the qualifying requirements for the eventing? I was just looking at Tayberry as he was mentioned above and from what I can see the highest level that his rider has competed at is new money 3*/old 2*

I know that they reconfigured the levels to create a 5* but I thought that olympic riders would have needed experience at a higher level than new 3*/old 2*.

From FEI website:
- 1 qualifying result at a CCI 5*-L (2019), or - 1 qualifying result in a CCI 4*-L AND 1 qualifying result in aCCI4*-S. An FEI qualifying result is achieved by completing the above Competitions within the minimum parameters of an all-round performance, with: • Dressage test: minimum 55%percent; • Cross Country test: clear (0) round or 11 penalty points on Cross Country Obstacles, not more than 75 seconds over the optimum Cross Country phase time. At CCI-5*L, the maximum time bywhich the optimum time may be exceeded is 100 seconds; • Jumping test: not more than 16 jumping penalties.

If you search Tayberry for example on FEI website the results are there but at Polish FEI events so won't always be on BE record.

I think the XC will essentially be at 4* level rather than 5*

Thank you, I did just look at BE

Morning!
yes I thought the indian rider’s test was really nice to watch.

I didn’t know Tayberry had been sold. I used to like reading about it on here and watched it at events a few times. It never looked easy in the dressage.

Well I fell asleep before the first test - doh!

I've caught up on most of the first group and am watching the second group live now with the sound off so i can dip in and out while working.

Thoughts so far. I didn't think Oli's test was a great example of what he can do, I expected to see better based upon recent performances. Good mark all the same but he looked a bit tense and the horse looked a little bit lacking sparkle. The halt and rein back was text book though

Alex HT rode a beautiful test, shame that halt dropped him some marks. Kazu deserved his marks too, it is looking good for the host nation!

Virgil looked very tense and unhappy, I think the Aussies are dropping off my podium picks.

Julia K's test looked great too, the Germans are going to be tough to beat.

I thought the irish horse was stunning, and beautifully turned out.

Laura Collett's test looked fabulous really lovely, and I thought deserved a bit better.

I think they'll be disappointed with 25 for Laura. He can score closer to the 20 (but again, I still think the better British dressage horse is in its stable in Tokyo, along with the best USA horse! - and no, i'm not a selector, i am just an armchair critic...)

I'm not so up on eventing these days. Who do we think the top contenders for the individual medals are?

I'd like to see a British top three but that might be too much to ask :p I think Michael Jung will medal all going well for him, Oli is our biggest contender for an individual medal, Tim and Jonelle Price also ones to watch.

To my eye London 52 was a bit hurried out of his rhythm in the trotwork- really showed up as he had no real extension but can do a stunning one. The canter was better but shame about fluffed first change

Ah I didn't spot the fluffed change, I will have to watch it back, I was trying to do two things at once!
