Sarah Parkes’ Balladeer Durban Hills continues on with the Badminton cross country even when his jockey comes unseated #AllHeart. Photo by Kathryn Parker.
Eric Winter’s cross country course at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials proved to be the trickiest in recent memory with only 37% of the field posting clear rounds. If you are like the rest of us who couldn’t peel ourselves away from the live stream, you know it was nail biting to the very end! Of the six U.S. representatives, two continue on to show jumping: Lauren Kieffer and Team Rebecca’s Veronica (17th) and Lynn Symansky with The Donner Syndicate’s Donner (24th).
Don’t forget: The Online Benefit Auction to support Lee Lee Jones closes today, May 7! Don’t miss this chance for lessons with the best in the sport, braiding by world-renown show groom Max Corcoran and much more. Check out all the items up for auction here.
