Some major discrepancies on some of the marks so far, 5 to 8? Is that common? I know they are seeing different views but seems a lot.

Part way through walking the XC, and despite last night’s heavy rain the going remains excellent
Muddy round the trade stands though.

The app worked last night on my not so new smart TV with firestick attached or you can HDMI cable from laptop to tv for anyone having any issues
Someone’s scheduled me meetings all afternoon so there goes my plan of multitasking. It’s Friday ffs

Thanks, have managed to get it now, it’s not that easy to find out how to get it to play when you are a technophobe!!!! I signed out of my phone and the laptop then signed in to the laptop and am now catching up with those I missed , and as a bonus I’ve got it on my tv screen

Apparently my badminton TV sub rolled over automatically so I don't have to um and ah over renewing it. Handy!! 
Have a half day today for pony getting her flu booster so that's also worked out nicely! Dressage catchup and a few glasses of wine this evening.
If I can get it working on the phone I can watch with pony in the field, see if she catches any inspiration.

I really hope they show at least some of the xc
surely that's what most people tune in for, not just the showjumping?

A day late to the party, but anyone else think the trot up has become more of a fashion cat walk. I’m not a fluffy bunny type, but what’s happened to health and safety, especially after the trot up incident at Addington International. The footwear and flowing coats/ dresses were not at all suitable for handling fit event horses, whom we all know can be unpredictable.

Yes and I hate it.
A lot of them look absolute states.
Probably this opinion is just even more proof I am rapidly achieving miserable old git status though

I really hate the fashion bit of the trot up. I think everyone should trot up in a pair of breeches and a smart shirt!

Fully agree about the utterly impractical and rather unsafe attire worn by some of the competitors at the trot up.
OH pointed out today on our course walk that, as yet, there were no signs of any XC video cameras or camera operators. Previously on day 1 of dressage there has always been a lot of activity setting up overhead gantries and finalising positions. Today - nothing.
Odd.

Totally agree, Laura Colletts flappy coat was ridiculous. It's all about the sponsors now sadly

Another one wondering when someone will break the mould and do a 5* trot up with a hat on... and I mean a proper hat.
Also noticed this re Monday's sj:
Watch Live: our online livestreaming service will show the live action during each phase of Badminton Horse Trials except for the top 10 show jumping which will be broadcast (free to air) on BBC 2 and the BBC website iPlayer for viewers in the UK. International subscribers will be able to watch the top 10 live on Badminton TV.

It'll probably be 6mins dressage, mainly xc highlights of the worst bits, and then top ten sj, if last year was anything to go by

Not sure if it was the flappy coat pic or another but wondered if she’d slept in and had to rush out to do the trot up in her dressing gown and slippers.

Let's hope so...if that terrible accident at Addington was anything to go by!!
Some top rider will do it one day then they'll all copy...like when Charlotte DuJardin wore a proper helmet at the Olympics and everyone ditched their silly top hats!

Anyone planning to attend today wrap up warm! Rather a lot of soggy cold people here already

Equidry is keeping my knees dry! Technically my seat is undercover but only just. Made it in time for the first horse. This is Toledo de Kerser.
