OK . . . if I promise not to be (too) partisan, not to be hasty in my opinions about competitors, do you fancy joining me to watch the Kur?

I have lunch (a mini ploughmans) a large glass of wine, the remote and some valium in case I get too over-excited.

Hopefully we can enjoy the Tests and the music without too many (remarks)!!
Heres to a great afternoons viewing!
 
Ooh I'm excited - this is my first experience of dressage to music!

Your snacks are far superior to mine :( I have a cup of tea and a multipack of crisp which I'm hoping not to finish!
 
Music's fun . . . very Italian themed and bouncy . . . sort of lost the plot with changes on a curve but otherwise nice solid test. Beautiful horse . . . out of a Weltmeyer mare. Not sure why she chose to go into piaffe a foot in front of the boards like that but nice piaffe and a piaffe piri - very rhythmical.

That was lovely to watch - horse looked relaxed and the partnership looked harmonious.

Wish I wasn't enjoying his choice of tunes so much :(

I started off thinking that but it seems to be more a case of snippets of his favourite music rather than anything put together to showcase his horse :(. Not impressed but this is the most relaxed I've seen his horse.
 
Am a complete dressage numpty but will add my two penneth. Thought Italians music was wush washy, not too impressed with her test for some reason. Don't want to like Kittel's but thought his music was great, horse was foot perfect to the beat, inthought it looked a good test personally
 
Yeah, not loving this test . . . horse curling up again like on Tuesday. There were some lovely elements but I felt they were spoiled by the tightness of the horse. Lovely horse.

For those of us watching on t'internet, it's on BBC1 at 3.20pm, apparently.

Not overly into either of the first two, so far. I'm no expert, though!
 
I'm saddened by how tense Andreas Helgstrand's training has made Donnperignon. He was much more at ease and correct under Koschel. :-(

And, btw, Andreas Helgstrand isn't 'very much top of the tree' - he has not managed to educate a single horse. He buys them, breaks them down and sells them.
 
Anna and Donnperignon are a really harmonious combination :confused: their freestyle wasn't as good as their grand prix which was so relaxed in that pouring rain.
