Badminton 2023 thread

Reading the Badminton FB page, it sounds like parking is a problem this morning with longer delays than normal to get along the side roads and into the car parks - I'm guessing due to the ground conditions.

Badminton TV is the way to go today! 🐎

wills only one to make it round so far
Oli pulled up by ground jury
Fiona had a fall didn’t look too bad but they want to horsebox to bring the horse back so other 2 or 3 riders being held at the moment
To be honest all of them have been tiring quite quickly so far this year
 
I’m very disappointed in Ollie, I thought he might have learnt from previous runs that he was likely to get pulled up if he didn’t do it himself… for such a good rider his judgement is not good

What happened with Kashel? I've just tuned in!

Laura won with London 52 last year after a hold. I doubt he'd have won it without.

Fiona Cashell had a fall at one of the fences towards the end of the course. Horse didn’t take off at the ditch and she came off over the top. Both were back on their feet but vets want to look at the horse further it seems.

Techie Q, where is the full screen button to get rid of the computery bits?

It’s weird because I can’t find it either, it was a cross in the right hand corner for the first few sessions of the dressage and then I couldn’t find it for the dressage on Friday , I assumed it was me being dim
 
Fiona's horse did look like it was uncomfortable on that near fore unfortunately. Not a good sign to see such tired horses and one already injured.

OT shouldn't have had to have been pulled up, especially when he's been pulled up before (was he penalised or given a yellow card or something for it?)

ETA - agree IHW - especially as he already had 11 pens!

Disappointed but not surprised sadly. He should have pulled up the fence after he had the pins when it was clear the horse wasn’t enjoying it.

Yes it’s the same arena.

I haven’t gone this year but in some ways I’m kind of glad judging by all the mud! Unfortunately I don’t have any spare money this month for Badminton TV so I’m going to have to live vicariously through this thread instead 😅

There's updates on the Badminton website, I'm following it on the cross country fence analysis page:

For anyone one with any form of smart tv - it's worth seeing if the app appears, I didn't think would work on mine but download and watching if you don't want to sat in front of the laptop all day

I’ve shared screen so have got it on the tv but for future things which button did you click on as I’ve got a Samsung smart tv
 
In some regards regretting not paying for btv thus year, but difficult as I'm 7 hours ahead this weekend!
Fingers crossed no nasty accidents due to weather conditions 🤞

Disappointed but not surprised by his records. It’s not his judgement that’s questionable it’s his lack of priority over the welfare of his horse.
