Burghley Cross Country Day....

Is everything for sale at Vickys? She produces some cracking horses. Always see her at BSJA. I think they will forgive her on that horse as tiredness tipped it over.

bet the peeople who just paid vicky loads of money for that horse are not so happy now, nor its future rider!!

Must have been a condition of sale that she got to ride it round Burghley?
Certainly did the horse no favours!!
 
Last year Burghley was exciting and so was Lexington. Badminton really needs to up its game. Both Burghley and Lexington are big and twisty and it clearly works.

Big, everything on a 4* comes up much quicker and you and the horse have to be so quick thinking. You could take an ordinary horse round a 3* and do ok but you need the x-factor to do a 4* well

hugh thomas will never learn. anyone who designs a course at anylevel that you can take two long routes and still win needs to find something else to do with their time!
 
Its not the height its the width, complexity, length of course and number of jumps and speed. The SJ at 4* is same height as intermediate.

Maybe we should start a government petition to get a new Badminton designer.

We could start it..

We the undersigned believe that Hugh Thomas is an excellent event organiser but Badminton to remain the premier British Horse trials event needs a new course designer.
 
I think it's silly that people have to do their first 4* at Burghley because Badminton is so hard to get into when Burghley is harder than Badminton!!
 
Well done Louise. I think she is deaf which makes it a very good achievement. Does she have someone wave at the start of dressage and SJ?

how tactful and i will sign!
 
Everyone has to send positive vibes for Jo May. Clayton Fredericks is still to go and he is dressage leader. Also my favourite horse Lead the Way is yet to go.
 
Really enjoyed watching Bruno Bouvier's round ! That guy is such a character, over 55, been an instructor standing in the sand school all day for 35 years and now living it up having a shot at **** eventing
