Doug Payne and Crown Talisman warming up to tie for 2nd place after the dressage in the CIC**. Doug was kind enough to sit down and chat for a couple of minutes after his test, but Bacon, who may be getting used to the limelight after starring in several Youtube videos of his own, was not very happy about the arrangement. If you haven’t already, you should most definitely listen to Doug’s podcasts and check out his website, facebook page and follow him on twitter – he is undoubtedly the eventing king of all new media!
After we talked I watched him do a simply stunning test on Running Order, and for once I had to agree with my neighbours who were watching, loudly, when they commented that Doug looked just like Mark Todd! Running Order scored a 30.3 and sits in 2nd place in the Advanced behind Jessie Phoenix.
Running Order getting ready to go in – listen to Doug’s podcast to hear Michelle (attending to RO’s hooves!) sing like an angel, not kidding!
Thanks to Doug and Bacon for chatting, best of luck this weekend, and go eventing!
