Re: commentating
Not a complaint…just a wish for better.
Is it not possible to identify a horse’s breed or registry ?
Now we have an “Italian born gelding”
The rider from Brazil rode a Brazilian warmblood. Looked like a Lusitano or Andy to me…

the ‘schoolmaster’ mare can go better.
Interesting - many Olympic riders making scores that would not qualify them to move up under the new Qualification program in USA…[/QUOTE]Maybe they’re actually using the rule book instead of scoring what “looks nice”.
BTV and broken C3, the song of GP.
I think I preferred the eventing dressage.

I agree with you Hansika. I think Sunrise had more expression that Mythius (but Courtney can pump it up for her next tests).
I don’t think that’s fair, hansiska. Some people are just quieter with their emotions. You can’t judge people like that, I’m sure they care alot and have feelings…there is plenty of screaming on fencing…
May I ask where you guys are watching the dressage? I have dish network and here in Missoula I don’t see coverage starting til 4 pm! Yikes!
OMG, pole at the highest point! Quick, look 'cause you won’t see many of those!
Eileen
Ahhhhhhhhh, last rider already!!!
Live feed on NBC ROCKS!

I liked the Italian’s ride … clearly I was the only one, however. I love those floppy ears!
It’s becoming apparent that expression is very important today.
I was always told head bobbling was a no-no … he did a lot of that. (I meant the rider)
And I am not happy at all with the IM commentary, have you noticed he is rather clueless?
I love Relampago. Even the person who doesn’t go for Spanish must admit he’s gorgeous!
Relampago is a Lusitano? I actually like him! I wouldn’t have guessed…
Now, THAT was a GP ride.
Eileen
65%? Good god, get some glasses!
65 … not super, but not bad.
The judging is baffling, but maybe we aren’t seeing some things.
Is that Nicho Meredith announcing ringside ? Sounds like him.
Wow - Relampago…beautifully done
Yay! So happy for Hayley. He is a super horse, and I think only started GP this year.
Can’t wait until tomorrow…
the dutch judge appears to be swinging things.
relampago’s rider is a student of german isabel werth.

No, IMO they’re still judging flash and pomp instead of correctness. That Lusi had a few errors, but he was far more correct than most of the other ten ahead of him.
WHy do I watch this crap? It just pisses me off. Sigh.
