Badminton 2018

I’m watching the feed, but I’m in Canada so I get the free “official” Badminton feed. I don’t know if the US H&H feed is the same people or if they have their own.

It’s not working for me. I’m also in MA. It says “Network error has occurred” on both Mozilla & Chrome.

This only works in some countries - although I see you’re in the US? I guess you got lucky b/c US is supposed to use another feed that is paid.

ugh Im in Canada and still cant get it…so annoying

I guess I am lucky then. I am on a chrombook.

Ok got it working, try Croxyproxy.com then put the Badminton link in the websearch

The Badminton link says it is not supported in my location, so if you are watching it in the US, you just got lucky!!

@Jealoushe the app is Horse & Country, but it is the one that says “Entertainment” not “News”

Great score for Veronica and Lauren, and they got that 25 despite leaving points on the table on a couple of movements!! Now let’s just hope they can pick up the pace and get around XC safely on Saturday!

I got that yesterday, not in my location. I have heard preposterous reasons before, but that one takes the cake. Very good riding today!

I love the commentators. Glad they have hides of steel to stand up to last year’s chastisement and carry on with the truth! :lol:

I’m getting the livestream in good order, here in the U.S., and I did have to sign up for a subscription, wasn’t terribly expensive but I have to remember to cancel it after Badminton. I wonder if they will also do Burghley?

Loved Rosalind Carter’s horse Allstar B. Not a spectacular mover, but a nice steady one, and so sweet and obedient. He really put his heart into it for her. His expression is so kind and genuine.

Wow, just the first day of dressage, and 16 scored under 30 penalty points (70+). The bottom score is 45.2 penalty score (54.77). I haven’t seen most of them yet.

Are these amazing dressage tests, or are the judges being kind?

Press conference with top 3 Day one is being broadcast live now

Oh no
I just got the following error message:
The owner of this event has chosen to block your location. If you think there has been an error, please contact the event owner.

yeah, I got that a lot yesterday. Don’t know what to say. Try using chrome. My feed yesterday was crap. Today it is perfect.

Eight hour time difference from Badminton to west coast US kaboshed any thought of following live today for me. I could not find a replay of the jog via H&C on Roku or Chromebook last night, and the Badders web site wouldn’t let me watch due to my location. Hoping to be able to watch dressage replays tonight; if not, H&C will be hearing from me again.

I think my previous post didn’t go through, so if this becomes redundant then that’s why.

I was able to watch smoothly this morning from the U.S. on Horse & Country, following the links from the Badminton site. There was a small fee, and I’ll have to remember to cancel the subscription after Badminton. I wonder if they will carry Burghley as well?

Will it be possible to see replays of individual tests and xc rides, as on USEF Network? I really need that service as I won’t be able to see much of it live. Somehow I let an important thing be scheduled in conflict with Badminton. :frowning:

Love Rosalind Carter’s horse Allstar B! Not the greatest mover, but very steady, consistent and responsive. Such a sweet and genuine expression. He put his heart into what his rider was asking. :slight_smile:

Just the first day of dressage and there are 16 horses under 30 penalties! The bottom score so far is 45.2 penalties. I didn’t see most of the rides. Was it really an outstanding day of dressage, or are the judges being kind?

I think the big guns are out getting ready for WEG selections. It’s all to play for on XC day.

Make sure you’re using Chrome, and then refresh. Again and again and again until it works. They’re experiencing an issue with geoblocking of locations that should not be blocked, and are trying to fix it, but I’ve been successful after many refreshes.

I think I saw somewhere that H&C actually is not putting up full replays, because people were looking for a better replay of the jog yesterday and I think they said they were just making highlight videos <sigh>

:mad:

I couldn’t find replays of the jog since the coverage was so poor. But today was great. I missed the first half today, But I saw great rides. Judging is odd tho. they are putting up the marks for individual rides, and for the same movement, they are sometimes 8.0, 7.5 and 5.5. The commentators are a screech tho.

Lauren and Veronica put on a smooth and brilliant test! (just a little misunderstanding in the Halt-Rein back). MJ and TP’s overmarked IMO. Rosalind and Allstar’s score well deserved. The judge in B is… well. Is it her first time judging at 4* level or is she just naturally grumpy and/or biased?:smiley:
