LISTEN to Badminton online: Go to the Badminton Homepage, and look for the radio link about halfway down the page on the right-hand side.
Websites: Badminton is probably the most thoroughly covered 4* on the planet so all of the regular equestrian media outlets and some irregular outlets are giving it a lot of attention. Here’s a list of the websites to check for Badminton updates. [Horse and Hound, Badminton Homepage, H&C Badminton Videos][XC overview with videos and drawings of every jump][Ride Times]
