Tokyo Eventing Dressage

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.

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!
 
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
 
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?
 
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
