Had a fantastic time yesterday at Blenheim, especially seeing William Fox-Pitt win his 50th 3 day!!! The only complaint about the show was the tiny amount of space set aside on the main arena for those without a grandstand ticket - honestly think this was pretty bad and I ended up going over to the warm up for most of the final show jumping as it was 6 deep at the rail!!! However, I did manage to get this fairly awesome shot of WFP, Oli Townend and Tina Cook doing syncronised practise fences :) and yes it was taken at the same time, no editing!

Cross country was amazing to watch with some real rider frightening fences - managed to capture Nicola Wilson's unfortunate parting of company from Annie Clover, I'm sure you will all laugh at my words of wisdom that come from years of being told to sit up when there's no where to go but down!!!

The bareback class was brilliant, love to see this come back another year as well!

Hope everyone else you went enjoyed themselves!
 
Great picture! I too loved the bareback, but was even more impressed when Laura Collett (in the High Jump competition) took her saddle off and jumped an impressive 6 foot bareback on her horse Jitterbug!! That girl has some balls!!!
