Not yet, but I'm looking at the results. My trainer is there as his assistant qualified a horse at PSG and I1. I know your trainer is competing. Did she go yet?
Ok, just looked. Gosh, GP is going in the evening. Good luck to your trainer.

I will likely watch in the AM. If you are willing to let me know your trainer/people, PM me so I make sure to watch and learn!

I love that I can watch this too in Aus! I like the scoring and the amateur classes. Yes, if anyone is ok to PM me their instructors it's more fun to see people you might 'know'.

I agree, Chisamba, it was a very respectable ride. She ended up in 9th place. I could tell she was happy with her horse when the test was done. She almost didnt go because the travel is hard on him and showing is out of her comfort zone. Getting to the finals takes a lot of effort as I know many on this board understand.
I was able to watch her ride real time (with a glass of wine!) but missed a lot of the other rides because my connection kept fading in and out. In general, I saw a lot less of the stuff that use to make me dislike dressage competition. I’ll watch the replays later.

it got stuck on me several times, not during her ride, but overall, but i refreshed it, and then was able to watch. It is an accomplishment just to ride. top ten , even better

My riding instructor went and won her GP freestyle qualifying class and came in 8th for the GP freestyle championship. She came in 9th for the GP championship. Pretty darn good IMO and to think I knew her when she was a kid, watched her grow up and develop as a pro. I'm told the scoring was as she expected.
