The Badminton jog strip this morning, via Samantha
Welcome to a bright and chipper Badminton Monday morning Eventing Nation. As a quick jog report, 56 horses will move on to the show jumping in just a few hours. Aoife Clark’s Vaguely North of Ireland, and Lucie McNichol and Zeus of Rushall of Great Britain were not presented. Flora Harris’ Law Choice was held and withdrew from the holding box. William was asked to jog Navigator twice but passed. 82 horses started Badminton and 56 will show jump, which is a good number considering the usual difficulty of the Badminton course and concerns over the footing this year. Now I’m going to go pound a protein shake and run 7 miles carrying 20 pound weights one in each arm and a third in my teeth before the show jumping starts. Go eventing.
