Just logged on to watch dressage on BBC

[Zijdeglans]

I love Adelinde's Kür!

 

[Zijdeglans]

PERFECT! On the spot!

 

[B_2_B]

Dressage noob here, what's a kur?

 

[Zijdeglans]

Hahaha, it's an other word fr freestyle to music.

 

[ChestnutConvert]

I love the timing of the music to the pirouette

 

[B_2_B]

Oh that makes sense

I have no idea about the technicalities of dressage, i just like to watch it and listen to the music

 

[ChestnutConvert]

And the two half pirouettes!

 

[Zijdeglans]

Oh, I like to moan and groan about what they do wrong and right, haha! Total dressage freak me...

I love Adelinde's piaffe music, always have done!

 

[TheMule]

By far and away the best I've seen Parcival look. Classy test

 

[orionstar]

That was fantastic, bring on the puissance on Friday!

 

[Zijdeglans]

Aah, Adelinde's first! Ofcourse, the test she road was excellent!

 

[ChestnutConvert]

We must find ways to get more equestrianism back on tv, we don't all have sky or want to pay various websites to watch it. Surely there are enough of us that would watch it?

 

[Zijdeglans]

I know, it's ridiculous! I always have the FEI membership code, so I canwatch every event online in HD.

 

[ChestnutConvert]

I know, it's ridiculous! I always have the FEI membership code, so I canwatch every event online in HD.

Do you pay for that?

 

[Zijdeglans]

Do you pay for that?

Yep... unfortunately. Before I have the membership, I watched on EuroSport.
One month membership is 20 euro's I believe... I pay a full year, have no idea what it costs me though..

 

[orionstar]

Yes, and I thought it was a bit pricey, so OH has been told that I will be plugged into the laptop for the next few days, although he can remember watching David Broome showjumping and normally if it dosent have an engine he's not interested!

 

[ChestnutConvert]

I did look into it for the WEG but knowing me i won't use it a lot, might have to get our campaigning heads on!

 

[Zijdeglans]

I see protests...

 

[ChestnutConvert]

Hopefully a bit more tasteful than the recent ones...we have class us horsey folk!

 

[Zijdeglans]

Naaaah, lets smash windows and throw bricks at the police.

 

[ChestnutConvert]

Set fires and have v for vendetta style rampage!

 

[Zijdeglans]

Have a campfire in the middle of the road and roastsome marshmellows, yeah, my type of protest.

 

[ChestnutConvert]

Ah but then the tea and toast would come out...see sedate really

 

[Sportyspots]

Ok so my initial wow has turned to dissappointment. First in comes a PRE so wow something different closely followed by the Fresian but then I lost the plot. When I was a kid at Pony Club we played the game of who could keep a piece of paper under their knee the longest ( was 40 years ago!) now these guys playing same game but who's horse could keep it between chin and chest! Riders who can't count, heavy handiness etc and final of lap of honour with no horses!!!!

 

[ChestnutConvert]

You are lucky...freeview cuts off transmission before any hint of medals, laps of honour etc...pathetic!

 

[JCWHITE]

I find a years sub to FEI tv is well worth it

[Pipkin]

Liking this this modern freestyle, but whaton earthhave they done to it forelock...

PMSL that`s exactly what i thought, I was like 'Oh dear god what ahve they done!!!!'

I loved Edwards mare, thought she was a nice mover not that I know much about dressage.

 

[Hippona]

What my 8 year old daughter wants to know is....

......have they all got worms? ( the riders).....as they seem to look like dogs scratching their bums wiggling around in the saddle

.....we need answers.

 

[Zijdeglans]

Aaaaah, some riders don't like sitting on their ass.

 

[cloudandmatrix]

ok, i was really impresssed with edward gals' mare- stunning, lovely mover, and used her back end very well.
parzival was out of this world, and minstril horjiis was very good too- shame about the spook.
i cant say any of the others set my world on fire- but it was nice to see a fresian
