Here’s a cool video for you this afternoon! Boyd Martin shared some highlights of his cross country round with the Turner family’s Tsetserleg TSF at MARS Badminton Horse Trials last weekend, and we’ve got the video for you.

It’s always fascinating to listen to a rider recap their rounds, especially after they’ve had some time to watch it back and reflect. So often, we’re talking to the riders in the mixed zone directly after their ride when they haven’t had much time to process what happened, good or bad. Going back and rewatching things gives more perspective, and that’s what Boyd gives us in this video.
I also appreciate Boyd’s willingness to talk about the mistake he says he made that resulted in jumping penalties at the tough sunken road complex. It’s a fact of sport that these moments will happen, and having the ability to look back at them frankly and with awareness is beneficial for everyone, including those learning by watching those who they look up to.
