Another inactive day today, made easier by having Badminton X Country on the red button.
I'm supposed to be having a lovely day out with Bev at the local plant fair, hmppphh!!
I've always enjoyed 3 day eventing (never myself of course, just watching, although I have done some hunting and x country events in the dim and distant past) and I enjoyed it today. It was good to see Mark Todd back at Badminton and Mary King had a good ( if not a bit hairy) round to end up in second place before the SJ tomorrow. Karin Donckers did a good dressage test (as usual) with her beautiful mare Gazelle de la Brasserie, but not so good x country. All those beautiful horses and something to look forward to tomorrow.

Badminton 3 Day Event
I love 3 day eventing. I think the horses are fantastic, they have to be so versatile and very brave. I've spent a very lazy day watching the Badminton 3 day event and really enjoyed it. I've always been a supporter of Mary King who's had a very unlucky year and she got round, a few hair raising moments, but nevertheless....
Karin Donckers usually rides a very good dressage test and this year was no exception, she has a beautiful mare, Gazelle de la Brasserie. As a partnership they show how 3 day eventing should be done.
