For anyone here in America not familiar with rhythmic clapping, this is a excellent example. It can make the most mediocre performance seem brilliant. Combine it with a standing ovation(and the two are used to death in Europe) normally reserved for spectacular, and you can make it appear you have just witnessed the farewell performance of Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Jose Carreras. At least the world knows how the judges voted and why.

So this magnificent rider got a 40 and that's four 10's from the judges? A horse that is gaging on the bridle has nothing but a Spanish walk, very bad rear and a bow. It is amazing and makes me sad and embarrassed at the same time. What even qualified this rider other than a cute figure and a wink.
Too bad that the rider was not capable enough to get the most out of tghe horse. I would believe the horse to be well schooled and it could easily have been an exceptional presentation. I like the "Rocking Fore" and the passage, spainish walk and high trot were there for a skilled trainer-rider. Looked like the horse behaved very good in spite of the riders inability. There was a time when I would love to get on that horse. She had no timing with the horse on the rears and it should have been a nice cadenced cantor and rear. I salute the trainer, whoever he might be.
Madame Col. Twiddle dee and Col. Twiddle dum,
This is one of those, Circus of the Stars shams. You know the kind. Yes, you too can be a Circus Performer in 2 weeks. Next to MC, one of the greatest injustices done to the circus and skilled artists. This is an actress performing with the horse, and also the butchered tiger.
