As usual, I took way too many pictures. Here is a selection - will have to do it in 2 parts, so, here pictures from the morning. Enjoy

So much history!

Some people should be models not dressage riders! Gorgeous Jessica Werndl

SUPER pics! How great to actually be there. :)

It always makes me laugh how relieved GP riders look after a test - just shows what hard work going around a little rectangle can be! :D
 
Thank you! Lovely pictures. Responsible OLD has the most gorgeous face. Alf is just so Big and Orange, and everyone is ridiculously good looking. What is it about dressage riders? :rolleyes::D
 
Thank you for posting these in here. I am not on facebook so wouldn't see them otherwise. The photos are lovely and the behind the scenes shots are lovely. I have a few from Hickstead and Aachen years ago which are really good places for watching working in etc.
 
Thanks Humblepie. It's just that it takes so long and I feel nobody wants to see them anyway as not many people seem to be interested in what goes on abroad ;)

But I will try to post more of the Kur, later on today.

Halfstep, this is the horse that Emile rode in the prize giving. Please get him to plait his forelock next time :D

These photos are lovely, so nice to see the backstage areas so to speak and the different viewpoints rather than just obligatory poncey trot and canter shots from the tests. Thank you!
 
Fab photos, thank you for posting!

Do you have any clear photos of the boots/wraps that Responsible is wearing?
 
Love the pics, thank you. Find warm up ones often show alot more than the during the test ones :)

Like breeches too...

Would love to see more if you have them?
 
Lovely photos!

Some reminders why I'm not very good at dressage:

I'm too scruffy
I'm nowhere near thin enough
I'm too grubby
I'm too sweaty, red in the face and have hat hair
I don't have an entourage
I'm not good looking enough

Let's not even get down to ability :rolleyes:

thanks for sharing :D
 
Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy looking at your photos from events abroad so please do post in the future - great to see the behind the scenes at places many of us will never get to see. :)
 
Thank you for sharing these, great to see behind the scenes. I am with ISZ on her comments which are wholly appropriate to me also!

Love all the horses but even more importantly, for someone with a riding hat obsession, what make is the hat being worn in the first picture?
