Riders' thoughts after completing the cross country.

That second ride of Pippa's looks an exciting prospect for the future, what a willing forward thinking horse.

 

[L&M]

And she looked so much more comfortable on it than Redesigned.....I have always questioned her partnership with him, whereas with this other horse it was like the 'old' Pippa was back! Very pleased for her.,

Coz if my horrid ponies all behave and stay in the pens I put them in and if DSW can walk after doing Burghley xc course (yes Burghley, he did a muddy race thing there today) am going for a nice day out too local county show :biggrin3: :biggrin3:

 

[NZJenny]

Go the Kiwi's!!!!

We went down for the day yesterday and had a wonderful day. I also went for the dressage on Thursday (I've done over 700 miles this week for Badminton!!).

I hope that the top three boys remain in the top three, they all rode beautiful tests and cracking cross country rounds, it would be a shame if they lost it in the show jumping now. I'd like William to win, but it's really long overdue that Andrew clinches a Badders win, so the 1,2 &3 can stay the same for me.

 

[Dusty85]

Just a thought... It's interesting that no frangible pins went. Although it's good for all so at least no awkward moments for them trying to contest the penalties!

 

[Supertrooper]

I'd really like Andrew or Ollie to win this year, really do think it's Andrews turn this year.

 

[lannerch]

I want chilli to win .....so he can be first stallion to ever win badders!

Is anyone else having trouble with the Badminton website?

 

[Turitea]

Yes but somehow have managed now to get the radio stream working. Took me a few attempts though.

Has anyone been spun ?

Is anyone else having trouble with the Badminton website?

Yep, it's behaving like a website that is being well and truly hammered. I imagine that many people who are there are also streaming stuff off the website. If you persist you can sometimes manage to get in but it's dog slow.

Does anyone have the start times for the showjumping that they could post here?

Have you ever seen Russell Cooper teaching? Think you'd like him if you like the way Harry talks about riding.

Agreed, Russell is fantastic.

 

[Supertrooper]

Just watching this mornings trot up on YouTube, I never knew that schooling whips were allowed??

 

[Dusty85]

I'm confused- I can't seem to get it on red button- just on channel 2?!

Is there anywhere I can watch it live rather than the bbc programme?!

 

[ester]

no don't think so

 

[Dusty85]

Grrrr thats so annoying- I don't want to watch all the XC again, and Im missing some SJ rounds!

 

[armchair_rider]

I'm kicking myself, I had Badminton radio working on my kindle but turned it off when I turned my laptop on - and now I can't get back in.

Edit: got back in on the kindle

Wow, seeing the horses stood together shows just how small portersize just a jiff is! Tiny horse!

King Ida is gorgeous and the other horse had huge feet!
