The 4* eventing world has descended on Badminton and for four days out of the year it almost feels like eventing is a mainstream sport all over the world. Samantha has been doing an absolutely tremendous job over on her blog and I don’t know how she finds the time to write so many great posts. We cross-publish some of her posts here on EN, but not all, so be sure to visit her blog for the best Badminton coverage anywhere. As for the rest of the Badminton news, I have spent my afternoon searching for the best links so you don’t have too:
Jennifer Wooten-Dafor and Pooh are aiming to be the first pair to complete 5 four-stars
Horse and Hound’s Friday recap
William Micklem worries that the Badminton ground might be too hard
Dressage photos
I’ll leave you with this quote from Karen on the USEF’s High Performance Facebook page:
I don’t know what will happen on Sunday but I can say that we are closing the gap between what we are doing in North America and the British CCI4*s. I remember coming here before and thinking, ‘what am I doing here?’ after walking the course. I feel like our horses have seen these questions before.
Go eventing.
