Whether you’re competing or just soaking it in from the sidelines, Badminton is a true bucket list experience. Being at this iconic British event feels like holding an old, burnished silver trophy in your hands, something handed down across the decades, the silver aging yet shining, a mirror of royal blue sky and spring-green grass.
The magic isn’t lost anyone, especially the three combinations who’ll be representing the U.S. at Badminton 2016.
This is the first Badminton appearance for both up-and-comer Libby Head as well veteran Boyd Martin. It will be Buck Davidson’s second crack at Badminton, his debut being in 2011 with Ballynoe Castle RM with whom he finished 21st.
The U.S. contingent looked sharp and ready at the first horse inspection yesterday, hopefully Boyd and Buck got some shut-eye on the plane after their Rolex runs, and both the riders and their teams are excited to be here!
