The Badminton XC thread!

[kerilli]

i don't see why people take dogs either. I did once - because I had to (was at Uni in Brum, went to Badders for the day and then drove home to Northants!) and it was a total nightmare of a day, he hated every second of it.
having watched someone's dog pee all over a very expensive leather jacket on display in the tradestands, i think they should be banned from them too...!

Why didnt jade pull up horse is really not happy

 

[conniegirl]

any news on the faller yet?

 

[yeeharider]

one of my favourites waiting to start Matt Ryan good to see master blaster finish

 

[jumptoit]

Just looked at it's record very out of character from him.

 

[lucretia]

well they are obviously held

 

[CastleMouse]

There's a hold on course at the moment.

 

[missshell]

I cant believe she did'nt give him a pat when they finished. He did well to finish.

 

[FairyCakes]

Hold on course :/ Hope she is okay!

 

[kerilli]

poor Penny, it was a long way down and she fell off fast onto a downward slope.

 

[Quadro]

they would pull up if it was another event but i think as its badminton they feel the need to keep going which isnt right need to thnk of it from the horses point of view

 

[kt_p]

I agree she should have patted him even if she was annoyed!

 

[CastleMouse]

She might be eliminated as they think she crossed her tracks at one point?

 

[JJ1987]

Hold on course due to Penny's fall - not thought to be serious but they're not sure. Hope she's ok

 

[Kat_Bath]

I'm watching at work, with no sound, most bizarre. Hope to read your updates on the fall soon

No praise for Master Blaster at all, shame. *angry*

I never ever understand why people take dogs in the tradestands!! Especially Dogs that lift their legs on everything!

My Dog would quite enjoy Badders, he goes to most things with me and is quite happy sitting and watching. He'd be far happier than he would stuck at home all day, so that is why I would take him.

However, he would be on a slip lead, so he couldn't slip his collar and I wouldn't take him up to the ropes.

Shame for Master Blaster, every other horse has finished full of running and had nothing but praise. Lovely to see so many horses finishing well.

 

[JJ1987]

Penny going to medical centre for further checks

 

[CastleMouse]

Penny's being brought to the medical centre for further checks now.

Results just say 40 penalties for the two stops.

 

[Ebenezer_Scrooge]

I thought she was harsh on Master Blaster as well..

 

[yeeharider]

i agree

 

[muffinino]

Hmmm, interesting to listen to them talking about Matt Ryan's application for British nationality...I work for the UKBA and I am nosy...

He just wasn't going well, was he? Poor thing.

 

[kerilli]

seems odd to have such a long hold, wonder if it's because the ambulance is on the track. Penny's fall didn't look that bad... hope she's okay.

 

[kerilli]

the cameras were on the only person there who seems to know how to hold on to her dog!!

 

[kirstyhen]

They should ban those brightly coloured socks too, garish enough to make even the best horses spook!!!

 

[CastleMouse]

Do you think she'll withdraw him before the SJ tomorrow?

 

[sachak]

i think master blaster should have been pulled up .

 

[JJ1987]

Ambulance is taking her to medi centre but no news on what's happened to her specifically hence hold up - looks serious though with such a long hold on Matt Ryan I'm afraid
