Wonder if any horses will try and jump it as one fence ?

Piggy is having a cracking ride. I’m in awe of these brave horses and riders.

The bounce looks ok really - Toledo was just far too fast and flat. He was really galloping.

Oli eliminated?

OT now being listed as eliminated

Bounce is built very forgiving, sloped to allow a flat jump to slide over but unfortunately Tom’s horse was a bit too fast to get the leg out of the way cleanly

Piggy came through very sensibly, and the American rider wasn't that fast through it.

Great round by Piggy

I suspect Ollie will be contesting his elimination. Have to say, I thought the shoulder had passed inside the flag.

Think of all the fences on course it’s the bounce I find the scariest!

Lovely round by Piggy!
Bet Oli is hotfooting it over to put a complaint in about that score ?

Commentators felt he did jump it.

The commentators said the back legs had to come over the top of the highest part of the fence, and only one did. Be interesting to see how it falls out.

Heart in mouth at times but so good to be able to watch it
May have to resurrect my analysis that I enjoyed doing

Biting my nails with Bundy on course. I used to be her groom and lived with her and her dad in NZ.

I don’t know how you can bear watching someone you know so well!

I don’t know how Harry can be commentating and watching this knowing he has to ride it later! Or maybe that’s his strategy, watching everyone else’s mistakes

I think Oli shouldn’t get penalties for that, shoulders through and hind leg was over top of jump (well one of them) so a clear effort was made.

Ooh, what happened with the fall for the American rider?

Does anyone have a link to the live scores?

Can’t even work out where it happened! That replay was just her plopping off under the trees.
Really like this other American pair! ETA - Tamra, not Philip Dutton. Can’t bear him.

I used to watch Badminton and come away thinking how much I wanted to have a go and that I could do it. Not sure if now that I’m older, or now I have a horse who has about a leg of ability that the 5* have that I now don’t want to ever try and attempt it

Mai Baum is just gorgeous! She’s a very nice rider, they look a really lovely pairing too

Such a shame for Bundy. But glad they both coming home safely.
I LOVE Mai Baum.

I didn’t see what happened? Harry’s commentary was great. I’m rooting for him too. And Alice Casburn as she’s so young!

Lovely through the bounce, I think bold and careful sounds right for Mai Baum! Love to see how well he’s listening to her, shame about the time faults but what a lovely round to watch

Harry is one of my favourite XC riders, it’s a real shame his dressage didn’t go very well
