I saw them once live a long time back, maybe 15 or so years. They were fantastic back then. I understand a lot has changed though now, more commercialised and taken over by different people, etc. Still see them though. Even for the beauty of the horses

I went to see them even tho the tickets were £££.

And (Im ashamed to admit it), I was bored rigid. It just seemed really repetitive and contrived. I think it would be a lot better to see them in the amazing setting of the Spanish riding school, to give it atmosphere.

I can watch dressage happily tho, so its not that I dont like flatwork.

sorry (still ashamed!) The horses were beautiful tho.

I am going! This will be my fourth time, definitely worth going if you can. The horses are really stunning, I unfortunately don't have any pictures but they look even better in real life

I saw them last year at Wembley and wasn't impressed. It just seemed to be fat white horses shuffling around, there was no structure as they all seemed to wander around the arena and occaionally one would leap in the air, but it was just luck if you were watching the right one at the right time.
Carl and Lee were very good though.

I saw them when I went to Vienna, and thought it was great, but I think the setting had a lot to do with it.

I wouldn't bother seeing them on tour, but it's not really my kind of thing anyway.
