Olympic clips: dressage clips

Aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi

Ireland

USA

China, their first ever Chinese equestrian rider! I don't know much about dressage, admittedly, but this guys leg position is sort of weird... I think maybe he's too tall for the horse and can't give the aides properly?

POLAND! YAY!!!! In case you are wondering, you say the horse's name 'Varg'

CANADA!!!!

boy, the rider for China's legs are REALLY LONG.

I don't think I've ever seen any ones feet hang that long in dressage before!

Either he is really, really tall or that is a small horsey. Gorgeous tho, I wouldn't say no to a horse like that.

man and I thought Canada's camera angles SUCKED!

oh and I'm pretty sure the scary camera of DOOM at "C" is ours... sorry horses who dare spook at the killer camera!

LOL!!!! It's not from official sites or anything, it's a private guy who is filming on his little hand held camcorder :-) He's not allowed to move from his seat to get better shots.
There seems to be a lot of shying and acting up at these games from what I have seen (we got two 5-min transmission of dressage tests yesterday...wheeee), I wonder what it is, you think horses at that level wouldn't really give a toss about cameras etc.

You're right. Chinese guy's legs look WEIRD.
Where as, Australians are doing SO WELL. SO PROUD. I want the Chinese horse though! Well, I want all of them ...

Thanks for finding these! I hope more of the equestrian clips get put online. I'm never awake when they show it on the t.v.

no problem, there are bound to be more on YouTube soon, I'll pop them up as soon as I can. At the moment I am TRYING to upload the sheer cuteness of Mia to YouTube and it's taking FOREVER.

It's probably because the olympics are taking over Youtube?

Mia is way cute and sweet. I love cav's. If I wanted a dog I think it would be one of them. Or a cocker spaniel. But I don't have the energy for a doggie at this point in time.

The irish horse reminds me of my Raz. I wonder what breed Comet is. I have my horsie albums now so I can show you when I see you. I have barely any pics of Jack but a number of raz

I think Comet is a TB or TB X WB, not sure. OOooo, cool! Well I should be coming to the end of my over-times shortly *yay and boo at the same time* so things will calm down shortly and I will be able to actually be a social animal again, rather than the work-hermit I am turning into currently :P
