Today I watched some of the dressage at the World Equestrian Event, North Carolina - obviously not near the battered coast. Rather than 'sport', I could watch this all day. Charlotte du Jardin was sublime on her new mare. trained for 9 nionths since Vallegro was retired. A commentator said they were almost supernatural today and that Charlotte is now the most celebrated British female rider ever. (Bye bye Princess Anne, but she was excellent too before retirement)

Love show jumping and eventing (spectator only, I don't even ride!) but can work up no interest in dressage.

I just love dressage and show jumping and missed it due to my OH watching some horrid stuff and falling asleep, he told me there was nothing interesting on. GRR! Hardly could contain myself when I found out today what I'd missed-----it was un-printable ????

Time somebody got you something with iPlayer for Christmas!

You are right Laurie, I never get hold of the remote to pick a programme I fancy, so its on my list for Xmas-----but will he take notice that is the question xx
