Not-So-Speedy Dressage
From Endurance to Dressage
Not at all what I planned to blog about today, but I am so excited that it just can't wait. I am finally going to see the stage version of War Horse!
Hubby and I were in London last summer and took the Tube all the way to the theater fully prepared to purchase our tickets and watch the performance. I was beyond crushed to see the sold out sign. We were only in London for two nights so there wasn't an opportunity to catch it the next day. But now I get to go. It's playing in Los Angeles as I write! Check here to see if it's coming to a city near you. I am going with a non-horsey, but theater loving friend. We've purchased tickets for Sunday, July 15th. I promise to let you know how much I enjoyed it. Woo hoo!!!!!!!

I saw it in NY at Lincoln Center. The puppets were great-they gallop up into the audience. I wasn't as pleased with Albert's character, though. The book is still my favorite, I can see why the stage and film changed things but I often wish they would have left them alone. I hope you like it!

I am really looking forward to it. I hadn't heard that the puppets get so close to the audience!

I HATED the movie; it was seriously disappointing. I know this will be better. I'll be sure to write about my impression of the stage performance. Comments are closed.

About the Writer and RiderI am a lifelong rider.
I began endurance riding in 1996 where I ultimately completed five, one-day 100 mile races, the 200-mile Death Valley Encounter, and numerous other 50, 65, and 75 mile races. I began showing dressage in 2010. Welcome to my dressage journey. About Speedy GSpeedy went from endurance horse to dressage horse.
