Just watching it on catch up, and everytime a singer comes on 6 year old daughter says ' whats that got to do with horses' ? LOL

Did enjoy Rolf Harris though, the cosacks were amazing

Before you guys all complain to ITV, just remember it actually went on for 3 hours, not the 90mins ITV have shown

Well I'm glad I used Sky+ so I could fast forward the non horsey bits!

Once I got over the disappointment of it not just being horses, I quite enjoyed it, even the travelogue stuff.

Non-horsey OH on the grey fattie Shetland - 'is that a baby one?' (facepalm).

Re the frenchman and his horses, didnt someone similar die recently or have a bad accident?

I didn't see the tv show, but assume the Frenchman was Jean Francois Pignon? His brother, Mathieu Pignon, also a gifted horseman, died aged 29 in February I think.

If there was three hours of footage to chose from you would have thought they could have done decent job

The Cossacks always put everyone else to shame! Amazing riding from them as always!

I was dreadfully disappointed the horses were relegated to little bits between boring singers and dancers. The whole programme was not as I d hoped.
Also thought JF Pignon setting a bad example, training foals this young. let them be horses when they re babies!

Does anyone know what breed the 4 Chilleans were using in their display? I think I want one!

 

[Merlin11]

they are chilean horses according to the programme! they are a native breed of iberian origin. i liked the look of them too. apparently they are quick but also willing and docile and hardy too. sounds ideal - think they would do well here!
