Just think, this time last year was the final competition that served as a selection trials for the Olympic Games in London. Of course, I’m speaking of Barbury Castle, one of the most beautiful and challenging events in the UK, where last year we saw some major victories, some supremely talented stickability demonstrations, and also some disappointments as riders strived for the nod from The Team. My personal favorite video from last year’s competition was that of current Canadian coach Clayton Fredericks somehow NOT falling off when all laws of physics were saying that he should. (Check that video out HERE)
However, the Barbury CIC** and CIC*** is this coming weekend, and competitors throughout the region are getting ready to compete against the best of the best. Today we bring you a look back at how the cross country course looked last year, jump by jump. This video is compliments of our friends at Uptown Eventing, who do great work with photo and video of all the top competitions in the UK, so check out their YouTube channel if you’ve got a chance.
