If anyone's interested in looking at pictures, DH always takes his camera when we go to events, so I thought I'd share! I hope you like them [grin] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6105-andrew-nicholson-avebury-hexagon-hedge Andrew Nicholson and Avebury were the first on the course - making the hexagon hedge (aka the vicarage vee) look easy!]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6130-lucy-wiegersma-woodfalls-inigo-jones-hexagon-hedge As does Lucy Wiegersma]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6140-aoife-clark-vaguely-north-hexagon-hedge Aoife Clark jumps it boldly!]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6151-laura-collett-rayef-hexagon-hedge Laura Collett jumped nicely through it as well]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6212-mark-kyle-step-in-time-ditch-and-trees It still amazes me how people dare to jump any of these fences - this one is just too scary for me, but Mark Kyle does it nicely!]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6232-karim-laghouag-havenir-dazac-outlander-bank Karim Laghouag galloping over the bridge after jumping the outlander bank - looks fun!]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6245-ingri-klimke-fresh-butts-abraxxas-shogun-hollow I was sorry to hear that Ingrid Klimke had a nasty fall, she was having a lovely round when we saw her at the shogun hollow]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6259-niklas-lindback-mister-pooh-shogun-hollow As was the more fortunate Niklas Lindback]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6454-louise-skelton-partly-pickled-lake Louise Skelton always looks like she's having fun]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6625-lucie-mcnichol-zeus-of-rushall-huntsmans-close I like this one of Lucie McNichol - a good indication of what a bounce is, eh?!]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6660-carolyne-ryan-bell-rathmoyle-king-huntsmans-close-fall Carolyne Ryan-Bell had a horrible fall at Huntsman's Close, but fortunately both she and the horse were ok.]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6707-matthew-wright-well-spotted-quarry If in doubt, lean back! Matthew Wright hails a cab]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6825-ruth-edge-two-thyme-refuse-quarry I swear I'm a jinx for poor Ruth Edge. Every time I see her she either has a problem, or has a problem before she gets to the fence I'm watching. This year 's Badminton was no exception!]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/6980-william-fox-pitt-cool-mountain-quarry William Fox-Pitt shows how it should be done]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/7053-oliver-townend-ashdale-cruise-master-quarry Olly Townend, just before his fall]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/7072-caroline-powell-lenamore-quarry Caroline Powell and Lenamore looking beautiful as always.

He's such a good rider, but Badminton seems to be his nemesis.]] [[http://lazy-photography.co.uk/albums/eventing/2011-04-24-badminton-horse-trials/7126-mark-todd-nzb-land-vision-quarry Not so for Toddy though, who must be running out of room to house his Badminton trophies!]] Hope you enjoyed that little selection!
