The BBC interviewer is Ritchie Pasad (sp) - he does racing coverage but he said it's his first Badminton!

nope. you are absolutely not allowed to hit the horse after jumping the last fence, but Merran Wallis did it in view of the whole world at Beijing and nobody said a word... (apart from a few of us on here, of course!!!)

absolutely, such a class act, and so nice to see him NOT rush the horse in the last few strides as if riding a Grand National finish. absolutely beautiful riding.

I can't see how they are going to fit 20 rounds in before 3.00pm.

Question - you'd have to have your number bib quite loose over those air-bag jackets haven't you? Otherwise it would stop the inflation?
Not sure whether I like them or not
Least the Exo would actually help if a half a ton of horse was landing on you, the air bag, just cushions the blow (if it goes off)

they only inflate outwards a few inches, but yes, i think bib would have to be looseish.
they do take your breath away when they inflate, really pressurise your torso.
i don't like how loud they are, but they may be quieter than the one that i tested years ago.
not a patch on the Exo imho.

Next year it'll be better as the show jumping will be on the bank holiday monday which I think means more coverage time
