Morning all! The live feed from the first day of the Burghley dressage is about to start on their Facebook page. If you have the Amazon Fire Stick in your telly you can download the Facebook app, log in to your account and watch it on a big screen :)

So first up is Tina. I'm really looking forward to seeing Harry Meade and Away Cruising - great to have him back at this level.
 
I think teeth, you could hear it in the halt...

Have you seen the next debate about level of test compared to BD, not sure what a 'soft' PSG is but I rather think this is definitely adv med level?
 
Definitely AM standard. Upper end AM.
No sequence changes, no canter piri, think the HP angles are not as steep as PSG
 
Looking forward to watching the cross country. A couple of the yards I work with have produced horses participating so it's exciting to follow them. Will particularly be rooting for Emma Forsyth and Soltair Justice. He's by my friend's stallion Tjipke, he's a great horseman who is sadly now very sick. But I know he'll be proud as punch watching the livestream in bed. Nothing like watching a good horse that you've had a hand in to cheer someone up:)
 
Burghley's field is always smaller post a Euro or WEG champs.

Utterly biased but seeing Tina in 5th has made my day :biggrin3:
 
What time does the cross country start today? Have to leave the house in about half an hour so it looks like I will miss the lot! (Thought I might at least get to see Star Witness, but it doesn't look likely now.)

Starts on the red button at 11.15 (980 on Sky) so I set it to record and can watch later :)
 
Just wanted to say - tina cooks round was a masterclass. Possibly the best xc I've seen. Fantastic horse & rider!

Curious now to find oit if that horse who hesitated at the downhill combo (oli?) will get 20pens, he was quite far away from The fence

He circled between the A and B elements so yup.

Clare Abbot is scaring me to death. Slow down, woman!

Think the fact that horse is small and shorter stride always seems to go faster, but I think clare would have preferred to go slower through the water, horse was very keen lol. Nice round though! Well ridden
