Dressage Day 2

[QUOTE=Anne FS;6475527]
Is all that clapping for the tractor people exiting the ring after dragging it? :lol:[/QUOTE]

I think they’re showing scores on the monitors :).

What does the green “Q” mean before the score on the scoreboard?[/QUOTE]

Qualified

[QUOTE=War Admiral;6475509]
How did Adrienne & Wizard do? Loff that pair, but their test came in the middle of my commute so I couldn’t watch.[/QUOTE]

A beautiful test. Wizz was a very good boy:). Adrienne rode exquisitely and oh so tactfully. One mistake in ext trot, but clean test in general. Wizz looked CALM and POISED.:eek: They both made the selectors happy with their choice, IMO.

Means they qualified for the next round. We need Steffen to do a phenomenal test.

Live Scoring is apparently screwed up. Shows Australia in 3rd putting USA in 8th. Can’t be right since Australia’s combined score is 68.5% or am I missing something?

Nevermind. I see they are final scoring them as the last rider for each team goes.[/QUOTE]

That’s just because the 3rd rider for the US has not gone through yet. Should be different after Ravel.

Charlotte and Valegro were such a pleasure to watch!

Adrienne scored 69.620 - a fairly conservative ride and a bobble breaking into canter on an extended trot. My favorite pair!

I think I could watch both Fuego and Valegro all day.

I really hope Great Britain wins a Team medal and/or Individual medal. Very impressed with all of the rides over the last two days! :smiley: Charlotte’s ride was outstanding![/QUOTE]

I don’t think you need to worry on that :wink: The question will be what color(s)??!!

Never mind that, it’s the COLOUR of the medal that we hardly dare think about!!! My god, I literally couldn’t breathe during Charlotte’s ride. I need to go school my own horse and get some perspective.

Rats. I was hoping it was for the tractor people. They always get a big cheer over here. :slight_smile:

Come on Steffan. We need a phenomenal test right now.

[QUOTE=Renn/aissance;6475514]
HOLY FREAKING COW YOU GO CHARLOTTE!

Now I’ll be civilized again. :slight_smile: That was a phenomenal test. What a fabulous horse.[/QUOTE]

The best conclusion, especially the “uncivilized” version

In Atlanta 1996, the grounds crew was dancing and doing the YMCA. :smiley: The crowd loved it.

Can’t wait to hear how Ravel does!

Argh, my video keeps buffering during Steffen’s ride. Guess I’m going to have to watch it later. Grr!!

By my calculations, Peters will have to score a 79.8 to get a head of Denmark and land the US in a medal spot… The last German and Dutch riders still have to go, so even that might not be enough.

Steffen Peters is doing a great job, Ravel looks lovely and relaxed, think they’ll be 3rd or 4th.

Yep, into 3rd with 77.948%

Best pirouettes and halfpasses for Steffen IMO.
