The Badminton blog has a great post from Dominic about the Mark Todd’s road to Badminton. The good news for all of us Mark Todd fans is that he has two fabulous horses on the 4* track. Grass Valley will be returning to Badminton after an 18th place finish in 2010, and NZB Land Vision will be making his 4* debut after winning the CIC3* at Blenheim last year. Dominic writes that Land Vision is Mark’s favored prospect to be part of what looks to be a very strong New Zealand team in 2012–especially if Blyth Tait makes a successful comeback. Eventing is at least 20% more fun with Mark Todd on the hunt again for a Badminton win. Here is an excerpt from the Badminton blog:
“Whilst Mark is extremely driven competitively, he is reassuringly commercial, and the need to keep the ship afloat financially is still up there on the list of priorities along side winning gold at London. Every horse in the yard is for sale “at some point”, all part of the original plan.”
