FEI investigates "unusual" dressage meeting in HK

http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/397/265861.html

I don’t follow dressage as much as eventing…just curious as to what this was all about. I know people where not happy about the scoring. Heard boos from the audience after the scores were announced for Steffen and Revals Freestyle, and I think i remember reading something about this on the Team Great Britains website…I think by Will Connell?

Who knew dressage could be so cloak and dagger ; )

Looking at the placings and the scoring it makes one wonder that is for sure.
The rate it is going Stevie Wonder will be judging Dressage before to long;)

meeting at 1:30 in the morning – well at least they didn’t wake the horses

The first thing that comes to mind is the German judge, it was said he scored certain people too low. But I think the complaint will be investigated without it causing any placings to change.

FEI has just announced the judges for WEG in KY.

E - Stevie Wonder
H - Ray Charles
C - Blind Willie McTell
M - Andrea Bocelli
B - Doc Watson

Your comment on the judges was really funny. I completely laughed out loud.

That’s hilarious!

E - Piers Morgan
H - Sharon Osbourne
C - Simon Cowell
M - Paula Abdul
B - Randy Jackson

Paula will, of course, think the horsies are pretty when they prance and give them all a 10 and cry after each ride.

Paula: “It is your horse’s wonderful soul that comes out and his passion to dance even though he kicked out you could tell that he wants to fly to the stars, so I say go for it and give you 100%.”

I’d like to see Heidi Klum, personally. At least she gives them a kiss when she Auf’s them.

I didn’t know DocWatson was blind.

I guess you CAN learn important stuff on these boards, after all.

The Tennessee stud was long and lean, the colour of the sun and his eyes were mean

We left out the 3 blind mice!

LOL this is probably the funniest thread ever. :lol:

NONONO!! I sang that ALL through my youth and his eyes were GREEN!! (just ask my long suffering grandma, hwo I drove to distraction with it.)

CHORUS:
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a hoss like the Tennessee stud

his eyes were mean
GREEN!

Blean. His eyes were blean.

My lineup:

E - Randy Jackson (“great ride, dog…I mean, horse”)
H - Paula Abdul ("sniff sniff - that was so beautiful! Can I hug you? 10!)
C - Simon Cowell (“You call that a test??? That’s not even a quiz!!”)
M - 'Lil Mama (“yo, you represented, and I respect that”)
B - Tyra Banks (“30 horses stand before me, but only 15 can move on to the freestyle. I have in my hand the sheets for the horses who still have a chance at being the Worlds Next Olympic Gold Medalist”)
