Niall was robbed too.
I thought PD’s lead changes were a little strong… maybe the side judges saw something different than the C judge…
:lol::lol: Niall’s comment on the F*****g camera oops!
love Niall’s comment about the camera…

Edited to add: Who was on a Trakehner?[/QUOTE]
I believe the whacked out (lovely horse but not coping well) Trakehner was from Bulgaria.
Well, now we know what Niall thought of that camera at “C”!
I cannot help but wonder if some team members are feeling the effects of their fellow team mates very poor tests. Ireland, canada etc.
Sorry if this has been asked/answered before - I haven’t read through all 20 pages.
Are all the event horses running XC on the same day (Monday in Hong Kong)? Am I correct in thinking that the horses who did dressage on Saturday morning will have a day off from competition while today’s half does dressage? Just a hapless h/j person here, but is that tough for an event horse that is accustomed to a certain 3-day schedule? Is the protocol just a light hack for the “rest” day?
Thanks!
they were all robbed, of a some serious pounds of sweat
I have seen shetland ponies with bigger movement then the current grey…but I LOVE LOVE LOVE the yellow breast girth.
Its so damn sad to hear that - what is up with these judges anyways?
slllloooowwww down Mary this isn’t a race.
What did Niall say about the camera? I missed that somehow…
nothing wrong with the judges, the differance is in the absolut precision of the movements, minor details as it might appear, but rather big on the scoring sheet
WTF! There’s a commercial in the MIDDLE of Mary King’s ride!
PD’s dressage changes, at least 3 of the 4, were a bit too “expressive.” For the first shoulder-in, it looked like he came down center line with the horse’s shoulder already in (or haunches already out, I’m not sure) rather than starting straight and then establishing the s-i.
The commentator does seem a bit of an Anglophile–first the flawless comment about William F-P and now he refers to “all time fave Mary K.”
Well then why are others saying that some of the riders were robbed?
DOes anyone know who is doing the commentary?
cooper,
because they dont look at that, but just at the overall impresion
ROFL I think the commentator is reading here!
Apologizing to Anglo-Arab fans!
