I was going to hijack the land for the weekend and open it as a giant equispa therapy play pool creche for competition horses to enjoy while their owners shop....nothing dangerous about shopping in the rain!so that would 1 be good for our horses legs...AND boost the economy...genius!

I'd like to say fab idea but having read the bullying thread I don't want to be accused of being a sheep or in a clique lol.
Maybe harness driving ponies to dingys & do boat rides?

Dunno what all the fuss is about! I totally associate Badminton with extreme wetness. I've done the sponsored ride there twice, and both times, I ended up in the lake. Once with the horse, once without...

Not sure how to respond to that... Was the route through the lake or did you just take a detour?
Lol, CS, Dave the dolphin was dafthoss's idea first, but yes, I do think Badminton should visit their local poundland and jazz the thing up for the swimming phase this year

They have a few of the 3-D-E fences on the sponsored ride (The log and a step into the lake) First year, horse jumped off the step in 'have a go hero' mode, and turned turtle. Second year, he said "Hang on - I remember what happened last year" just as he dropped his front feet off the edge. Somehow, he managed to put the brakes on in mid air and sort of disappeared backwards from underneath me. Git...
I don't like it there...there's a weird magnetic pull between me and the ground in that place. It's not just the duckings - I think I've hit the deck every time I've been there.

Yep - I am very adept at falling off going cross country. I always follow through with my hands whilst falling off though - as a matter of principle...

I hope they deduct faults for you following through with your hands
I've often thought that falls should be scored on the basis of athleticism, entertainment value etc

Could they turn the XC into an army assault course and let the blokes watch/take part while we shop? Plus have long reining dressage mini shetlands & other non-ground-churning entertainment?

Dave could swim away this time rather than make a dodgey attempt at flying
Any way these eventers are supposed to be hard core whats a few extra water complexes

In CR I've just suggested transferring the Olympics there - sort out that Rachel woman who was always in Soapbox whinging on about using Greenwich. I can go as I only live 10 miles away and we could all shop at the same time. Sorted - much better venue.
