As an intrepid British foxhunter Lady Martha Sitwell has jumped plenty of “meaty” fences in her life — oftentimes sidesaddle to boot.
There’s plenty of beef on the cross country menu at Badminton, so I thought it might be an interesting thought experiment to follow her around the course and get an intrepid foxhunter’s perspective on how one should ride the jumps.
As it turns out, foxhunters and eventers are both crazy in their own special ways.
Let’s walk.
Thank you for the illuminating analysis, Martha!
Go Lady Martha. Go Eventing.
