Badminton 2025 - The Top Three after a fabulous days Cross Country action are Oliver Townsend leading on Cooley Rosalent, with Ros Canter in second on Lordships Graffalo with Gemma Stevens on Chilli Knight in third. This afternoons show jumping test will decide the winner of the 2025 Mars Badminton Horse Trials, there is less than one fence between the top two so its going to be a nail biting finish.

So it begins, great to be back at Badminton Horse Trials again. Before the competition gets underway there is always the first horse inspection in front of Badminton House. As always the eighty five riders were out to impress the best dressed judges.

The look that says it all - New Zealands Caroline Powell Wins the 2024 Badminton Horse Trials today. She moved up from her overnight sixth place after the Cross Country phase. After jumping a clear round on her mount Greenacres Special Cavalier she watched as all the following horses had fences down and gradually rose up the leader board until overnight leader Tim Price had five fences down which gave her the win.

Great to be back once again working at the 2024 Badminton Horse Trials this years weather is the total opposite last years mud bath. As always before the competition the horses are inspected to see that they are fit to compete. The "Trot Up" is also an excuse for the riders to dress to impress here are just a few of the fabulous outfits from yesterday evenings horse inspection.

The photos from yesterdays Great Ridge Ride are on the website for you to view and order. A fabulous location and for once the sun shone and the rain stayed away. My personal thanks to the two gentlemen with a land rover and a tow rope for freeing my car from the muddy track where it got stuck. https://www.davidbetteridgephotography.co.uk/-/galleries/equestrian/fun-rides/great-ridge-fun-ride-01-04-2024
