alot went on this year didnt it?!?!? and its not over yet

alot of the big timers got caught out didnt they! what a day and such a shame about that poor horse i still dont know what happened??

ha ha well there you go there are no hard-core ravers with whistles and glow sticks at badders just stewards in top hats

I was wondering what sort of horsey person would be there with whistles - now I've got the perfect vision in my head of a horsey raver. Maybe they would have on some of the fluorescents the police riders and horses were wearing in the earlier picture!!!

Beautiful ride by NG and what a lovely mare! Go MK xx

I just spat my tea out over my keyboard reading that comment!!!

Honest mare, got him out of the ****e on more than one occasion, but what terrible riding, hands all over the place, be surprised if the mare has any teeth left!!!

Have to say that was some of the worst riding of the day.

What happened to his other ride?

for gods sake WALK THE POOR HORSE AROUND!!!

I'm sure she values your expert insight...

If you knew anything about the sport you'd know that the same horse and rider sailed round Burghley in appalling conditions in the autumn, and so are clearly not in need of riding lessons or inane adivce.

Anyone who watched that round could see that the horse was clearing the fences with ease and would've continued to do so if it wasn't for an unfortunate slip. Grow up

Someone needs some riding lessons!

Obviously that opinion has complete validity seeing as she's competing in Badminton at 21!

Also, I've seen her ride last year at Burghley and she performed very well.
So maybe next time think it through before you make petty comments, she's probably got more talent in her little finger than you do!

cheers.
