Badminton anyone?

isn’t it Badminton weekend? Was it cancelled?

Next weekend! 7th-11th.

BBC Sport are showing the CC on Sat, you can watch if you have Expatshield or similar.

(Starts Sat at 06:50 EST)

Is on any other network?

I don’t think it was last year, and I haven’t seen anything about any other coverage this year. :frowning:

I think you can listen to Radio Badminton even from the US-the link is on the website. It’s actually pretty fun even though there’s no video.

Everyone just passed the first inspection, not a one sent to the hold box.
I wish there was a way to watch on line like Rolex! Want to root our Americans on!

Looks like everyone on the Waiting List got in.

Not as many foreigners as one would expect, but far more Dutch than one would expect.

Lots of newcomers this year. Perhaps the guard is changing as far as horses are concerned. But WFP and AN are running their stalwarts.

Nereo is going last. Is that because he’s the highest returning placer from last year? Or did AN pick the horse to fit the place?

If you have an iPad I used surf easy app and it was awesome to watch Rolex coverage. So technically you should be able to watch badminton on bbc. I paid for one month subs which was 3 dollars I think. Cancelled it after Rolex.

My daughter’s coach is competing! It’s so exciting to for her and all her supporters. It’s her first trip over and, being Australian, it’s a huge trip.

Please think good thoughts for #42, Natalie Blundell and her little horse, Algebra. “Sam” is a 15.2 OTTB, bought as a show horse, did a stint in Pony Club before going to Nat to sell a few years ago. LOL They have a really special partnership and are always a crowd favourite here.

Nat is a very special person and we are so hoping for a great (and safe) run.

I’ll be there Fri and Sat. Looking forward to it. Weather here has so far been brighter than expected.

Does FEI TV not include dressage from Badminton? I couldn’t find it on the upcoming schedule. Trying to decide whether to subscribe for the year or only during WEG…

Anyone have the instruction for expatshield? I used to but can’t find them now … it worked when I used it before. :slight_smile:

:cool: Going tomorrow. I want to see the new course.

maybe this will help?

Also try www.ukipvpn.com or
this for options www.strongvpn.com/?

Some may be a small fee, but worth it to avoid the shucksters of FEI. Currently not in a position to try it out, but later tonight I may on my home system. I once made the mistake of subscribing to FEI TV, I could not unsubscribe without going through way to much b#llsh1t so I finally just sent their emails to spam. As I have no love for things FEI, I prefer to not give them my money. Its enough that I will watch (when I can) Horse trials like the three Bs in Britain and other European events to support the riders.

    Sweet! My mom gets this…will have to check what they are playing!

  • Any one here able to use VPNs with HughesNet? They claim their service won’t work with VPNs because of Latency. If anyone has been able to make it work, please tell me how.

    Looks like they put in a great test! I was at the 2012 Trans-Tasman and fell in love with him. He is very cool, and Nat seems great.

    Look how much better the first day, first half rides are in dressage than at Rolex.
