Badders Dr thread...

With the exception of Oli T, the leaderboard is looking rather brilliantly 'Girl Power-ish'. Almost enough to make me sing a little Aretha Franklin number....
 
that they are! Providing a wonderful distraction from revision! I wonder if they'll get to do the Olympic commentating, they'd be ace!
 
Some seriously cracking tests today. Watched all but the first of the day. Toddys was very classy just slightly lacking. Piggys had it been error free would have taken her top I think. Ruths was very good but I still think that perhaps Lauras was better but was hampered mark wise by being early on the first day. I've really enjoyed today must say! :D
 
Interesting comment - NH trainer P Hobbs said "I walked the course at Badminton, I was surprised at the condition. We wouldn't run our horses on it."

So obviously fast going for tomorrow..
 
Yes two thyme reared at end of test outside (and poss after final halt but can't remember!) due to the noise of the crowd. Far from alone though as several horses did.

Forgot to say opp buzz really impressed showing huge improvement. Yes not up with the very top tests but giving it a good stab. Was frustrating that score board gave up during her test so couldn't see what marks she got for what.
 
There were some good tests today altho I had to switch off at 12 to go to work. I missed Ruth Edge but Im glad Laura Collette is still in top 5.
