Dressage has begun

Woohoo!!! Nice job, Courtney and Mythilus!!!

The player is messing up. It seems everyone got on when she was riding and I missed the ride. What score did she get?

Way to go Courtney and Mythilus :D:D:D

Not a single mistake, but not enough.[/QUOTE]

Ok I’m not watching but not enough??? come on she’s started the U.S. off in 2nd place…I’m happy

Whoa, that Brazilian horse is way uneven behind in the passage!

Big step, little step, big step, little step…

And his hind legs are miles apart in the pirouette.

Courtney & Myth’s piaffe/passage transitions are starting to remind me of Nichole & Rembrandt.

Not enough.

The ride of CK/M was super. And the Dutch and German judges were wrong with their scores.

Mythilus starts looking like his father (Ferro) more and more every day.

Mythilus was impeccably turned out … he looked wonderful.

So far I have not cared for either of the Brazilian team’s horses. I don’t find them pretty to watch.

And not to be Tim Gunn of the dressage venue, but a white lined cavesson and a gold browband do not belong together.

Didn’t the dutch place her 2nd? what was wrong with the score?

OOPS I CHECKED HE PLACED HER 3RD

Sunrise must have some serious flies too… for the whole test :wink: I thought Courtney’s ride was better…

Imke’s horse’s tongue is out flapping around (zig zags)

that score was a wee bit high.

That’s a really long-backed mare. Wow, a 70. Guess tongue flapping isn’t too big of a deal.

Someone here explain why she beat Courtney? What was better?

Wow. I can’t believe they placed Sunrise above Mythilus.

Tongue was flapping in the breeze on the zigzags, piaffes traveled, nowhere near as harmonious a ride as Courtney’s.

At least 3 of the 5 placed Courtney ahead, but it wasn’t enough.

IT was like a flag! How could he get higher than King with all that tension?

I thought King rode conservatively but it was lovely.

No, but look at the judges. Hmm, harken back to Greece.

I am glad someone else thought her back was long. I thought Sunrise looked like two different horses out there. How could the judges put her ahead of Courtney with the tail swishing and tongue flapping…:no:

I thought Imke’s score was a little generous. Between the tongue flapping and the tight neck I thought the score would have been high 60s. What do you guys think about her hind end and back? To me she looks like 2 different horses stuck together.

Please someone tell me why Imke’s ride was better than Courtney’s???

Glad I’m not the only one!

I was definitely questioning Imke scoring higher than Courtney. Her test was so much more relaxed and fluid. That’s why I jumped on the board really quick, nobody better to truly break it down :smiley:

Courtney rode very conservatively.

Wow,they are going to be great when she is ready to ride “.closer to the edge”:wink:

Nice horse and rider.:smiley:
