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

Andrew Nicholson and Avebury were the first on the course - making the hexagon hedge (aka the vicarage vee) look easy!

As does Lucy Wiegersma

Aoife Clark jumps it boldly!

Laura Collett jumped nicely through it as well

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!

Karim Laghouag galloping over the bridge after jumping the outlander bank - looks fun!

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

As was the more fortunate Niklas Lindback

Louise Skelton always looks like she's having fun

I like this one of Lucie McNichol - a good indication of what a bounce is, eh?!

Carolyne Ryan-Bell had a horrible fall at Huntsman's Close, but fortunately both she and the horse were ok.

If in doubt, lean back! Matthew Wright hails a cab

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!

William Fox-Pitt shows how it should be done

Olly Townend, just before his fall

Caroline Powell and Lenamore looking beautiful as always. I am stupidly in love with this horse.

Mary King always looks like she's having a good time!

Andrew Nicholson and Nereo - I do feel sorry for him that he missed out on winning AGAIN. He's such a good rider, but Badminton seems to be his nemesis.

Not so for Toddy though, who must be running out of room to house his Badminton trophies!

Hope you enjoyed that little selection! If you want a look at the rest, they're on DH's website :)

Can't see the photos Sad. I was at Huntsman's Close when the bad fall occurred. It was horrid.
