HOLY SH*T the Aussies are on fire, 1st and 2nd, thank god for the Federicks.

wow…what a lovely mare! And such a nice partnership.
Brit has some of the purest paces of any event horse I have ever seen…ever.

I called it!
Damn, there’s a giraffe in the ring.
Good thing he’s not in uniform.
this irish horse sort of reminds me of my horse when we do dressage at shows! very up and tense!
That poor Irish horse is going to jump out of his own skin!
Who is typing the live commentary? Anyone know?
I head what sounded like a cluck, but I’ve heard that in dressage tests before–I think it is/could be the sound of the leather bite slapping the saddle flap with the rider’s outside leg moves in that sharp way some use it. (Although I wouldn’t thikn that’d be the way Brit would be ridden–too sharp a mare for any such “sharp” leg aid!)
Geezum, part giraffe?
Tough break, must be the longest eight minutes of your life in that situation.
Poor dressage giraffe. I hope he can jump!!! He looked so stressed out of his mind!
Okay… if he beats Parker… that will be sad.
I can’t believe he managed to get flying changes out of such a hollow horse!
I missed his score though??? Anyone?
geoff is actually Irish born but changes citizenship a couple of years ago.
so if i understood correctly, there is one chilean rider competing. i am excited to see his test
wow this horse is 18…he looks pretty cool!
I really think they misjudged Kyle’s ride big time.
I think Linda’s horse is like 19…he has been going FOREVER. She and her sister Sara usually ride horses bred by their mother. They really are very nice ladies.
What does Stand By Me have on his feet?
Changed it to what?
He’s still Irish, rides for the Army.
on the front it looks like bell boots… but surely its not
