@vixitrixalina it is normally the changes, but i think everyone knows by now that these are something Alf struggles with. given that his performance was a strong as it was, perhaps she didn't want to risk any mistakes. this is his first Olympia where he hasnt put a foot wrong :D so no, you're not going nuts lol
looove the kur music for Laura and Alf! they better keep this for the Olympics, would sound great! the piaffe/passage music puts me in an awesome mood every time :D Laura must have builders arms, this horse is so bloody strong :') what score did they get for this? did they win? i didn't get to see it, now have i had a chance to look for results >.
@CobCymreig ahh i see, that explains it lol! i suddenly was really confused, i wasn't expecting a change xD he was fantastic though.... roll on the Olympics :D

I agree. Her aids are not as invisible as they usually are. Still, she is definitely one of my favorite dressage riders! :)
hold on, at 5.17 she goes into an extended trot - isn't that normaly one time changes? or am i going nuts?
She's using her hands too much in my opinion.. Looks very rough.

We should stop to admire too much discipline of animals. 100% discipline of horses has the smell and flavour of torture. I prefer more freedom.
