Somehow, in the depths of the internet, I have missed this wonderful documentary produced in 1987 by BBC all about Eventing Cross Country. I like to consider myself a connoisseur of obscure YouTube videos, but even I admit that I was unaware of this gem until now. It shows all the great riders of our past, and includes footage from Badminton and Burghley both. It is a six part video, kindly translated from VHS by some generous soul, and therefore available to watch for all of us. If you’ve got the time, watch the whole thing, if not, just watch parts of it, and enjoy the hair styles of certain Hall of Fame riders back in the day.
