Me too! But mainly because I’m still bloody working ? I have to be up at 6am. Why am I doing this??

Right, I've had a 4 hour power nap, back up and ready for more ?

Such a shame about the flying changes, but I thought that was a lovely test! The mare looked really relaxed and happy and I thought the ROC rider was very quiet.

that was a good idea- I nearly did but my stepson came round and I hadn’t seen him for a while.

This bay reminds me of a little cattle horse I evented in Italy in the 90s! Dressage wasn’t our strong point.

As I've said before - plenty to be learned from watching some of these late 30s/40s tests - we're getting a pretty wide range of horses coming through tonight!

Gold for GB in the mixed triathlon relay for anyone not watching. Had one eye on the first few dressage tests.
Now for the big guns!

First thing I've actually been able to watch live (well saw Ollie last night then fell asleep on sofa) & I also got distracted by triathlon relay / didn't want to switch over til I knew if we'd got the gold. Hoping I can stay awake until after Michael Jung although been at work all day so not optimistic!

28.9 - what a shame re changes

Well that was underwhelming. Why did he walk on a loose rein like that in both extended and medium? It has really hammered his scores

Super frustrating - that first change, he was asking, but seriously delayed response.... Still, no disaster...

Yeah, shame about the flying changes but we're in a great position

MJ needs a 19 to put Germany into gold position which I worryingly predicted ?

So very basic calculations Michi Jung needs to get a around a 15-19 penalty score Or there bouts to over take the brits....certainly possible!

Underwhelming is the right word. I can only assume he felt the walk was too fragile to be able to do much more. But I still don't really understand why you wouldn't try and show more difference?

A few frustrating errors for Boyd too - lovely changes but big issues coming out of rein back and trying to get into counter canter

Oh well. Hmm. It could have been worse. Still not a bad score.

Frustrating test for Tom.
I’m nervous of a sub-20 test from Jung, entirely possible

I'm still feeling gutted for Ros with a horse in the stable who could have pulled out a sub-20...

Around 2.45 I think

Thank you. Crikey, not sure if I’ll last.
Tom could’ve got a much lower score too though. He looked gutted.

Strong team score for Japan!

Just did some basic maths, only the Kiwis or Germans could realistically catch us or come close!

This dressage Test has proved me wrong though, I believed that we would see a lot more lower scores but the quick succession of movements is certainly catching some out
