NICOLA WILSON and Beltane Queen.
I love Nicola Wilson for her smile, riding and kindness and BQ is just outstanding! Not enough cow ponies seen at Badminton, I want more of these <3 love coloureds!!!
Wasn't it exhilarating to watch, I couldn't tear myself away!!!

watched the full 6 hours,partly as im ill but was emotionally spent at the end. Hubby said i was swearing like a trooper with the stress.

Another vote for King Eider and LM, Nicola Wilson and Beltane Queen and Paul Tapner and Kilronan (so lovely to see them doing so brilliantly at this level . . . fab dressage and class XC round).

Nicola and her mare for sure - though it's a real shame she didn't have Opposition Buzz this year

Loved the Aussie girl on Algebra too, shame they fell

nick gauntlet on his young chestnut was amazing ... he gave it such a lovely ride round & he clearly worships the ground that horse walks on

nicola & beltane queen is such a nice new partnership & nicola is such a lovely person she deserves success!

i loved mark todd & leonidas even though the horse clearly boss mark for a good half of the round he has so much character you cant help but love it !

Agree and Nicola Wilsons little mare

Nick Gauntlet was so genuine in his affection, that horse is a real partner ! One to watch in the future!

Nicola & Beltane Queen.
One to follow in Dodis hoof prints.

i think you can really tell who have been a partnership since the horse was younger

Joseph and mary did great - Mary especially at the Owl Hole.

Harry Meade and Wild Lone. I think Harry is one of the most efficient and stylish riders across country. The dressage phase has often let him down in the past. I'm absolutely delighted to see Harry and Wild Lone in the top ten after cross country and in with a decent chance. He deserves a big win.

Yep, I agree! Harry Meade was pure class. Also loved King Eider, made the fences look so easy.

Mary is a legend, she is just so incredible. Nicola and her lovely mare and King Eider, just lovely lovey boy.

 

[RunToEarth]

Nicola and her mare - I got excited as soon as I saw her - what a cracking stamp of a little powerhouse - she is really a lovely little mare.

Pascal Leroy had a great XC round.

Particularly after last year.

Loved Beltain Queen and Nicola Wilson, what a pair. Nicola always looks really pleased, which is so lovely to watch. I only caught Izzy Taylor's second round, but wow.
