Anyone else finding the live stream https://www.badminton-horse.co.uk/badminton-live/ very jerky?
Lissa green withdrawn
Oh that's sad.
Also is there any news on Emily Gilruth?
Any news on horses not being presented this morning?
Thanks for the trot-up updates - such a shame for Alex and Lissa.
One (quite silly) stat that occured to me this morning, and not sure if it was mentioned yesterday, but I think the wearing of a Willbury cross country means you're considerably more likely to finish clear (Gemma) or clear and within the time? (Tim Price, MJ) than non-Willbury wearers :wink3: They'll all be wearing them next year :smile3:
I was surprised none of the Hunt were about to stop it, they're normally quite quick at catching the loose ones.
Glad Elisa was carded, if it teaches her a lesson then it's worth it. I honestly thought her attitude afterwards was as shocking as her keeping the horse going.
Not heard anything yet- last news was that she was under assessment at Southmead. Apparently her horse trotted away absolutely fine though.
I'm glad Elisa was yellow-carded. Her attitude was atrocious in my opinion. Apparently she has apologised on FB for her actions. I still think the stewards should have pulled that horse up.
All best vibes for Emily Gilruth. There's an amateur pic on FB of the pair in mid air over the jump, Emily was sitting perfectly to assist her horse who was reaching to clear the fence.
IHW, is Riverdance yours?
All of this mornings trot up is now on YouTube. Know what my tv viewing is for tonight!!
Sorry he had to be withdrawn this morning but wow, what a fab experience to be there behind the scenes.Unfortunately not!! But I'm a friend and did the finish with the main groom

Is there any news on Shanghai Joe today?
Other than a fractured shoulder I've not seen any further updates.
Can a horse recover from that?
Can anyone point me in the way of a photo or video of Sam Griffiths getting his 50 penalties. I'm interested to see what happened.
