Badminton dressage all done
|
A very interesting top 10, and fairly close- there's only the difference of a run out XC between the top 50!
Looking forward to tomorrow, if the course really does test as is predicted, I reckon there could be a lot of changes in the leaderboard by the end of the day.

Does anyone know what happened to Zara and Ardfield Magic Star?
watched her work him for about an hour last night and he looked fantastic - but clearly something went very wrong in the arena today!

I think they had a wee problem in movement 17;
SL Half-pass left
LA Collected canter
A Track left
As their marks were 3, 2, 1 from the respective judges and the photo on the website I think must be the "incident";

(It's the 2nd photo near the bottom of the page which is labelled "Zara Phillips")
Submission scores were only 4, 5, 4 as well. Poor Zara, I think she had her hands full today!

I was listening-he was really tense from what they were saying and didn't fully relax.

He's an extremely strong XC horse, so Zara may feel sore after XC tomorrow!

Was being a total git - Zara did well to hold it together as well as she did! The commentators were saying about it being tactfully ridden...

Thanks for filling me in guys - I am REALLY surprised as he was going just so fantastically last night, really soft, supple and submissive.
I guess the atmosphere in there was just too much for him, poor lad.
At least Zara should be able to have a pressure free XC with him though, which should be fun!
