The entry list for the 2016 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton CCI4* went live this morning. Ninety horses have been accepted and another 27 are wait-listed. Only a maximum of 85 horses will ultimately compete, but more are shown on the accepted list because of double entries and riders who have entered mutliple horses.

Twelve nations are represented on the accepted entry list, including a strong contingent from the United States. Buck Davidson has entered Park Trader and The Apprentice, and Boyd Martin has four horses entered (Cracker Jack, Master Frisky, Blackfoot Mystery, Shamwari 4). These six horses are also all entered at Rolex Kentucky; Buck and Boyd must declare their final entries to Rolex by the closing date of March 29.

Lynn Symansky and the Donner Syndicate’s Donner are also double-entered in both Rolex and Badminton. Phillip Dutton has one horse entered at Badminton with his relatively new ride Indian Mill, and Libby Head is entered on her pocket rocket Sir Rockstar. Kathryn Robinson and Let It Bee are the sole representatives from Canada.

Anna Collier and Gleaming Road and Tiana Coudray with Rindwood Magister are currently wait listed.

We’re delighted to see both William Fox-Pitt and Andrew Nicholson entered. William has entered his 2012 Rolex Kentucky winner Parklane Hawk and Andrew has entered his 2014 World Equestrian Games mount Nereo and three-time Burghley winner Avebury.

Sam Griffiths is entered with 2014 Badminton winner Paulank Brockagh as well as Happy Times.
