The legend that is Mark Todd....

[icestationzebra]

....has signed up to Express Eventing

Now that just made the launch event even more interesting

 

[FFF]

Ooohhh good

 

[SpottedCat]

And I have heard a rumour that he has paid a LOT of money for ODT Land Vision, so I guess he is sticking around for the time being.....and we are likely to be seeing him out on the circuit next season. I would hazard a guess that he feels in with a shout at the Express Eventing since he paid rather a lot for the horse (allegedly).

 

[icestationzebra]

Interesting! Perhaps a worthwhile investment as the prize money would help pay for him

Bound to be fierce competition though especially from William and the Fredericks

Ooh, excellent, I had heard that he was planning to build up a team again and carry on. That's the best news I've heard for ages, he is a master horseman and always such a pleasure to watch.

[lizzie_liz]

ooooooooo That is so exciting, i really do hope Express Eventing becomes a success. Am gutted I cant go to it as am miles away at uni

And thats great to hear Toddy is planning to stick around, he is a legend

 

[AutumnRose]

Wow thats great news. I so want him to stay so we can see him out and about!!!

He cost more than call again cav but not as much as imperial cav! The great thing about this horse is it can clearly do dressage have won national champs bd.

I don't know :S I think he may be better staying as a legend personally, eventing has changed. JMHO

 

[SJFAN]

He's a truly great horseman. I was delighted when in his BBC TV interview during the Olympics he said he had so enjoyed returning to competition that he was intending to acquire more horses and continue.

I'll be massively excited to see how he gets on with Land Vision. I've just bought my new horse off the guy that produced LV so I feel somewhat connected
