This year’s Badminton is shaping up to be one for the history books. Yes, we are all waiting to see if Michael Jung makes history and takes the Grand Slam, but more history may be made as well. Alice Dundston and Fernhill Present are on track to be the only horse and rider pair to complete all of the 4* events in the world together. Pair Badminton with the Kentucky Derby today and it’s going to be a fantastic weekend for horse-related activities!
