The 2019 Badminton XC Thread

Ah yes, Louise. Recall her having a terrible round a year or few ago on something else just as big.

 

[attheponies]

She seems to find the most lovely, genuine horses who just get on and do it for her (despite the untidy riding).

her rounds often get a bit untidy to watch as the horses she has are always giants. She is absolutely tiny.

 

[scats]

I’ve actually really enjoyed Louise’s round!

 

[Honey08]

To be fair, ive criticised her in the past, but its not looked untidy today at all.

Laura Collett has a look of Nicola Wilson, like Piggy did Pippa. Are they all clones or do i need to wear my glasses more!

There have been some big stamp horses this year, its seemed.

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

The ditch in the hollow is being influential!

 

[HashRouge]

Anyone know how tall Louise is? I know the horse was big but she is diddy! !

 

[teapot]

To be fair to Louise Harwood, remember she had a serious car accident years ago that left her with muscle damage/riding limitations

Don't know, but it's not just that she isn't very tall compared to her horses, she's also very slight. Have bumped into her a bit via riding club stuff. She has had a few really nasty accidents too.

[EventingMum]

Absolutely thrilled for Wills in his first 5*

Me too!

 

[EventingMum]

I had to go out and test drive a car and I think the salesman thought I was mad as I was more worried about getting back to watch Badminton than trying out the car!

I like this little grey

I want him!

haha! priorities!

 

[Honey08]

That little grey looks like it could do mounted games teams too!

Its bern a good xc with the leader board moving around.

 

[sasquatch]

I like the look of Talent

 

[Honey08]

Was this the french guy who won Pau? I watched a headcam of him and he was saying such lovely things to his horse all the way round.

 

[scats]

I’m enjoying the commentary at the moment.

 

[Ambers Echo]

[milliepops]

[Peregrine Falcon]

Dinner maybe a bit later than normal. 😆

Or I think someone else could cook, I'm busy.

 

[milliepops]

Dinner maybe a bit later than normal. 😆

hahaha I did the oldies this morning but I think I will be saying the same thing to the stabled horses today
OH knows better than to expect anything of me until it's all finished!

 

[milliepops]

considering she had to take a long route at the staircase, Ellen is really cracking on time-wise

Ohhh shame. Used up too many lives!

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Cor, well sat

 

[Nayumi1]

Haha I've sent OH to sort dinner for my girl 😝
