OLYMPIC DRESSAGE THREAD

[AutumnRose]

oh no a client has arrived, stupid work. Can people please write lots about emmas test so i can read it when i come back on.....Thanks!!!

 

[GDB]

That last test before the break is a good example of Dressage WITH music rather then Dressage TO music. She lost me about 30 seconds in....not that she's bothered I'm sure.

Bloody good way of describing it! I went and toasted a bagel half way through!

 

[KimYoung]

Has anyone seen Emmas Kur before?

What type of music? How technical?

 

[haybales]

guys read the guardian dressage article, link in latest news, you will SERIOUSLY get annoyed...

 

[KimYoung]

My OH has just phoned me o see if I could give him a lift home...........pointed out the dressage is on

[librauk]

[jesterfaerie]

Argh just got back missed everyones so far, when does it start up next or is someone in the arena now?
I cannot find it anywhere on the tv or on the bbc website!
HELP please

 

[Daffodil]

Far rather be able to hear the music, without MT wittering on, and JLC then dissects the test afterwards. Perfect!

 

[KimYoung]

(I read it and emailed them yesterday haybales.

emailed the sorts editor and the letters page

gave them a right telling off

 

[KimYoung]

Its on bbciplayer

so on interactive tv or online

 

[kerilli]

Sorry, but that last test was really boring to watch.
i'm sure Mike Tucker said that Jan Brink has done 8 Europeans with Briar... wouldn't that make the horse at least 24??!!

 

[KimYoung]

Totally agree with JLC want to see riders riding to the music with flair and riding to music that they know

 

[lucretia]

he probably did the an has been out in the sun too long now

 

[Halfstep]

Please, please somebody gag Mike Tucker NOW!!! I'm going to THROTTLE him soon. You can't trust a word out of that man's mouth, he seriously needs to get his facts right before he spouts.

Oh and its Don SCHUFRO, not SUCHUFURO Mike. Grrrrr LOL.
