It’s like Clark knew exactly where to stand.
Here’s a smattering of some of my favorite shots from the 2013 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials in no particular order. Final counts estimate that more than 250,000 people attended the cross country on Sunday, and the grandstands were sold out for the exciting finale on Monday. Badminton is one of the most highly attended sporting events in the world, second only to the Indianapolis 500. I hope these photos help to convey the incredible atmosphere and competition at Badminton.
