Badminton Entries out.

[Nicnac]

No wait list!

Harry Meade has multiple entered so will have to cut them down to 3.

Only one German. Commander VG is back. I thought that horse was really old but he's only 15.

 

[ihatework]

Comes round so quickly. Gutted for my mate, the one year in god knows how long they get a horse qualified- there is no waitlist so would have got in, and the horse gets injured in the run up

 

[Eventinggeek]

That's a nice-looking field! Can't wait.

 

[Jeni the dragon]

Very excited about it!
Really tempted to head down but I seem to be bad luck to people i know!

 

[teapot]

Wonder if Harry's will be double entries with Kentucky?

 

[millitiger]

Looks like a good field.
I wonder how much it will be whittled down in the run up.

 

[Surbie]

Very excited! I've booked the weekend off work so I can stay rooted to my sofa.

Shame no Alice Casburn though, I like watching her.

 

[Nicnac]

Wonder if Harry's will be double entries with Kentucky?

Possibly or Luhmuhlen. Surprised Kentucky entries not published yet. Don't think they're going to be massive as seems US struggling to attract competitors. Maryland have cancelled their 5*.

who'd want to go to the US at the moment!

 

[YourValentine]

Exactly.

And they don't have the local depth of talent to support two 5* events.

Well I was due to go to Kentucky as bucket list but cancelled as not putting money into Trumps economy. Unfortunately event tickets are non refundable and Kentucky have been useless at responding to any of my messages offering them the spaces back so am guessing it's not full and my lovely dressage and show jumping seats will sadly remain empty.

Different priorities if you’re wanting to run horses at 5* level in a World Champs year at end of the day.

Ending up detained in a Texas concentration camp would certainly scupper your world champs chances.

 

[Teaselmeg]

Sad that the entries are that low that there is not a waiting list at this stage, probably going to be short dressage days !!

Simon Grieve is on there with Autograf - will this be his first Badminton? I so hope he has a good run, he always comes across as a lovely rider, coach and all-round nice person.

Simon has done several Badminton’s, but this is the horse's first

Sorry yes I meant is this Autograf's first Badminton, I know he did a 5* last year wasn't sure if he'd taken him round Badminton yet

 

[CastlelackSportHorses]

Delighted to see such a strong Irish field. My neighbour and coach Mike Ryan back at 5* level and a very good friend Alice Copithorn also riding with my mares half sister!
Flights over are relatively cheap but cant find anywhere to stay for the weekend

[Nicnac]

That's a lot of pressure on Ros. I'm hoping for a Harry win this year.

 

[teapot]

Saw a post go past (not sure from who) that said it was likely one of David Doel's will go to Kentucky

I think she’s happy with the pressure, coming back from having her baby so quickly.. She can do pressure!

I had a quick look the other day. Did I remember correctly that Colorado Blue is entered again? I’d love to see them win. It’s about time. Or Emily King or Bubby. But I’m really rooting for Ros.

Harry has doubled entered 4 of his. Both Tom's entered and Tim Price has 2. Big Irish contingent including Colorado Blue.
Bit gutted I cancelled now but at least I won't have to watch a certain US rider who has 2 entered.

Depending on what standard you want, if you are hiring a car have a look at places like Swindon. Its about 30 minutes from Badminton, there is a Premier Inn right next to the M4 motorway junction 16.

And a Travelodge right by J17. From travelodge back exit at J17 you can take local back lanes easily (10-15 mins on days other than xc)

so 37 entered, 33 that could actually run (assuming the same rules as here that a rider can only run 2). Thats fairly dire numbers.

Kentucky rarely has even half the numbers that Badminton or Burghley receive. Had about 30 last year.

And no Maryland 5* this year so that’s the only US 5* event

You can ride 3 here. Assume FEI rule so guess same for Kentucky.
Can see Harry taking 3 to Badminton and 2 to Kentucky.
