Laura B, Emile et al - Cappeln pic overload

[happihorse]

Great photo's, thank you! Like someone said previously, the warm up ones really interesting.

Icestationzebra, ROFL, so true. I might also add that I don't have the radio/transmitter/speaker/whatever you call it. Every time I compete I feel so naked

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

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?

Brand is UVEX, but I don't know what the model is. Close-up:

There was another interesting hat which looked like a Vespa helmet! No idea what brand it was though. It was black and white and *almost* looked like leather!

Fantastic pictures!!!

I adore Alf... I watch the Horse Hero videos and especially love Laura's videos with Alf they have a very special relationship!!!

I really like that Uvex hat - I am going to get a new hat at some stage just for daily riding and quite fancy one of those. I thought 200Euros was quite good for them too? Or maybe im out of the loop with hat buying as the last hat i bought was a topper and that was about 4years ago!!!

I have been searching online and can't find those Eurostar breeches anywhere...hmm...maybe they aren't available to mere-mortals yet..my bank balance is happier anyway!

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Well, 200 euros is significantly cheaper than a GPA!! And the website looks good, I love the fact it says it can be worn with glasses (I am terrified of riding with my glasses if I am also wearing my helmet)

In a tack shop in Holland they were selling a sparkly helmet (brand was something like Samshield) with a 1,000+ euros price tag

Oh they *must* be available, lots of people were wearing them! Or is it just a clever marketing campaign? Laura B's white breeches were the same model, with the logo even more visible in black - but in the pictures I have it's always covered by the tailcoat.

 

[KPM]

1000 Euros for a helmet? Wow... and I thought some of the GPAs were expensive enough!

Can't see them on the Euro-star site FB, will continue to look as part of my work avoidance program today.

Have you seen the range of sunglasses? Loving this! And earpieces for the hat for winter - I soooooooo want one!

 

[Halfstep]

I've been looking for the Eurostar breeches too (blushes). I can't even find them on the Eurostar website! And that had does look super smart.

The middle bit is covered in black crystals though!

Fab photos, thanks for sharing them.

Uhm, I can't find them either. Maybe they really are just for their sponsored riders! They do sponsor quite a lot of people, it might have been just a coincidence that I saw several riders wearing them.

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

The UVEX range of glasses is incredible! I want a pair!

 

[Baydale]

Fantastic photos, FB, thanks, even if they leave me feeling massively inadequate for all the reasons Icestationzebra mentioned earlier.

Now we'd like some more photos of you and yours please. I love all this spangly dressage porn with the matchy matchy and patent overload.

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Thank you Baydale! Yes, you will all get matchy matchy pictures next week (am away at a conference this week, boo) - Kerilli located and kindly sent me a new set of BANANA YELLOW pad & bandages, so a photoshoot is very obviously urgently needed

 

[Baydale]

I'm quite sure they're Deep Vanilla, not Banana Yellow. I'll look forward to seeing those photos and will make sure my sunglasses are close to hand.

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

Whatever the colour, Kerilli said she loved it! So it's eventer-approved matchy matchy

 

[meardsall_millie]

Another one feeling completely inadequate now!!

Fantastic pictures FB, thanks for posting those. Any more?

 

[Law]

Fab pictures. Thanks for sharing Love all the stylish bling etc etc. I did see one person in a t-shirt I own Yey. Shame i've not got her figure for it :'(

 

[Passage...]

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.

Ditto! thanks for sharing they are amazing pics xx

Thanks for the photos, they are great ! They are so clear! you must have a good camera!

 

[Jiffy]

I'm soooo glad I stumbled across this post ...am sat drooling over the EF pics and LOL at the Vespa helmet!

 

[Gamebird]

More please! You have a lovely eye for detail and I prefer the warm-up ones.

Would like to add to ISZ's reasons but after the debacle last evening trying to persuade Archie to even pretend to take a contact and becoming progresssively redder, sweatier and fatter (there were mirrors - I swear I got fatter!) then watching blonde, thin dressage lady get on and achieve the aim in under 20mins without breaking a sweat I don't even feel qualified to comment on a dressage thread!

 

[sillygillyhorse]

I "think" the Vespa style helmet is by CASCO (shame on them!). The brown Uvex is the FP3 Glamour model. Can't find anyone in the UK that does them but this company in Germany appear to have the full range and the CASCO ones
