Badminton;

what is the 950or 1150 link?
my set up said ‘off air’,

Mine also says off air. There’s another one that says “13:55”, so I’m wondering if they’re on a break until then?

they ARE on a long break now-for lunch. But I missed the entire second bunch with most of the Americans. Thank you wanderlust for the link to Tami’s lovely round

kills me to say it but I thought that too. Hopefully it was just a weird step or two.

Andrew Hoy, in Horse&Hound, rated the Broken Bridge as a 4/10 but the very next fence, the KBIS Corners as a 10/10, a real 5* problem. This one is definitely a rider frightener and photogenic crowd pleaser but the horse sees a low fence with a drop behind. Note how the landing zone has been carefully prepared. A clever Eric Winter fence.

They have one on the 90/100 course too! I’m totally building one.

“shows lot of energy but not always in the right direction” Love that.

I have had comments on my dressage test that said: horse feeling good, well sat by rider

Speaking of commentary, I am very disappointed to not hear Pammie Hutton’s commentary. She is the absolute highlight of dressage at Badminton for me in years prior.

Can I ask a dumb question? Do horses get different shoes for the different phases? Or is it really a matter of adding studs as needed? I’m a former low-level reiner and dressage rider and I have no idea how that works…

One set of shoes and studded accordingly. There’ll be a set or sets kept from previous shoeings in the truck as spare in case any are lost

eta I can’t seem to figure out quote replies…
