It’s all about public perception.
What a story! And now 70% at the Olympics! Great work.
Making me pretty sad as it was the music from a certain Freestyle from Tokyo that I now can’t watch with any sort of joy
I thought he did a great job. I didn’t realise what short notice he had. Incredible work.
Jon Kyle has been doing this for many years, but I have noticed recently he has been doing less and less of the commentary. So far this morning, and I have just joined this morning with this group, He has hardly spoken at all, leaving it mostly to Lucinda. Not a big deal, but I have always enjoyed listening to him so it is a bit puzzling.
My horse is all white and plays hard, I’d be so screwed if it was me
I wish they were allowed to wear boots. Especially since this type of thing can be elimination. She was clearly upset as the other horse was leaving and he did such a good job of getting her back.
Got such a soft spot for the Iberian horses. Totally different picture from the warm bloods.
I was looking away but it sounded like Castilla Ruiz’s horse had some things to say during the reinback
Harry Potter for the walk work right now!
Not to mention they wrap and/or boot the hell out of the dressage horses normally!! It’s almost a disadvantage in this situation.
He’s a four-time Asian Games gold medalist, and I think he’s improved a lot since he won those!~
Horses are slooooooooooowly becoming more interesting to the public over here (I moved to Korea for work); mostly in the racing scene BUT I really hope the country can invest more into other aspects of the sport.
I’m childless but the comment about Alisa having 5 children and possibly not being able to train Abercrombie further and go to LA left me shocked.
What a bummer to be eliminated over a tiny wound unrelated to horse welfare. But blood is blood I suppose.
To me it’s so explainable vs. blood in the mouth or from a spur! I am so sad for Marcus and the team. It’s very obviously not rider inflicted.
Jon is one of the best ones out there for equestrian sports. He has some health issues if I remember correctly from an interview he did with Sinead Halpin-Maynard
He might be exhausted from all the eventing commentary he did already!
I wish Lucinda would stop saying that some horses have “an extra vertebra”
I am a huge fan of them
Yes he has been “on” for a not-insignificant amount of time already.
The Swiss horse had a lovely outline from what I saw. Too bad about the last halt!
