Horrors! I jest, at least a little -- dressage is that part of eventing they make us suffer through to get to the good parts, at least now I won't be alone on my insistence on using colour -- oh yes, that is me with my blue stripe on my saddle pad!

My one consolation for my not-so-great fashion sense is that I'm always in style in the dressage arena because the rules haven't allowed for much differentiation.
