For England-based Canadian rider Kathryn Robinson, having a crack at Badminton is a dream come true.

She and Let It Bee, her own 15-year-old Westfalian gelding, finished 7th at the Pau CCI4* in 2014 and represented Canada at the Pan Am Games in Toronto last year. They’ve competed in every corner of England but Badminton is a first.

Kathryn calls the horse her “Black Limousine” — dark, sleek and long — but she did a skillful job of packaging him up today.  Their elegant, flowing test earned a result of 47.9, putting them in 16th place after the first day of dressage competition.

We had a chance to catch up with a smiling Kathryn after her test.

Best of luck, Kathryn!

Go Eventing.
