Badminton XC day

I was thinking that Honey! He's done well so far. I hoped they'd get Todd commentating again, I enjoyed it last year too.

I think most of the riders are fairly good in the commentators booth, but they still need an anchor to hold it together.
 
Poor Sarah Parkes. A slightly green round even up to that.

There are some big horses, it seems, this year. They didn't look so big when I watched them warm up for dressage on Thursday!
 
Ooh hard fall. And pin didn't break even on leg left behind which is a bit concerning.

I'm amazed that pin hasn't broken already the number of times its been hit.

Hopefully the horse did not follow Shanghai Joes example and make its own way back to the stables!
 
They've just taken Lydia Hannon's 20 penalties for a refusal away! She's done well - isn't this her first Badminton?
 
Got my fingers crossed for Lissa Green's Badminton debut. It was lovely seeing her mum running round grooming - I just spotted her in the warm up arena then!
 
Grounds looking quite slippy! Wonder if horses are unsure of ground which might be causing some of the wary jumping
