Well done to the organisers for taking good care of important people. If you have time do tell us a bit about the show.

 

[ReadyTeddy]

i will, two horses one in the morning and one in the evening so am hardly killing myself! willi melinger had a stop this morning so even the great can fail sometimes.......!

Indeed, nobody's perfect! I'd like to see Willi have a top GP horse again. Think he's an under-rated rider, whose achieved fine results with some very different types of horses.

 

[ReadyTeddy]

he has been doing pretty well lately but you know that O Poster of All Links! x

The British riders have been well placed during the 1st 2 days in Barcelona, Rob Hoekstra the highest, having been 2nd with Rancorrado both days. However the other horse he usually rides, Little Love 8 is being ridden (not so successfully) by his owner.

The germans and austrians dominated first day in budapest but th world cup qualifyer was won by france's eduard mathe, last night and thsi mornings speed class by Willi Melliger!! sadly only by vitue of piping hungary's favourite, the lovely and still fairly britsh James Wingrave. grand prix shortly so better go and do stuff!
