It was Actually Scotsmare that brought it up not me, so i suggest you read her post rather than berating me for reacting to something that clearly written to antagonise people.

anyone remember the comment about dressage being boring when she was commentating at Badminton a few years back?

Yes I do. She said (about the dressage) 'It's strictly for the dedicated, all the tests look the same to me'. I was cross about that, after all it is the presenter's job to make it interesting isn't it? I don't think I was the only one to complain to the BBC about this as after that they got Lorna Clarke (I think ) to commentate for what little dressage they showed. So it is worth writing in, I will be, as I think it was out of order to make such a personal comment about someone's appearance, which seemed to me to embarrass the poor lad a lot.

I should think so, glad all is resolved.

I really don't think that Scotsmare was trying to antagonise anyone, she was just putting into context the situation.

Good! Maybe she will think twice about making such silly comments in future!

I can't quite believe people are bringing up CB's sexuality when it has nothing to do with what was said, make remarks about her physical apperance if u must as this is what she did to Liam, Being Gay myself i find this highly offensive nd then remember what a narrow minded, bigotted community the equestrian world is!!

Everyone always brings up Will Young being gay every time anyone mentions him! Its not just horsey people.
