Another good one for us. Last year he won at Hambleden, this year a slightly tense dressage and having the likes of Bettina Hoy in my section left us 8th after dressage. Super duper clear SJ making it all feel so easy and then somehow knocked 30secs or so off our XC time from last year and got the only too fast time pens of the day. Oops! We have never ever been too fast and he was 16secs too slow at SOE 2wks ago. He is so nippy and nimble though so he ate up all the twists and turns in the woods and just kept pinging. We even trotted down the steps, through the water and the coffin. Obviously all our Badminton fitness is paying off. Time pens dropped us from 6th to 10th which was frustrating but he finished full of running which is encouraging for Badminton. We leave a week tomorrow!
