Just a bit of a whinge about Badminton coverage ...

[Stillcounting]

... or lack thereof ...

I live abroad and so only get BBC 1 and 2 ...

There are highlights on this evening at 17.55 UK time but the cover is woefully thin imo, considering we've had wall to wall snooker for days on end now...

Surely there are as many riders out there as snooker players??

That website is fantastic!! Thank you so much again Skihorse for really interesting info. Have a long w/e coming up very soon and am desperate to get out of town to either participate or spectate ...

(I stayed at a beautiful campsite near Eupen once - have very fond memories of it - particularly the grub!!)

Thanks again!

www.eventingsport.com/ is the main eventing website for Benelux.

I'm thinking about going to the one in Vrouwenpolder in a fortnight - I've not been up that way for years and am wondering if I should book in to a B&B for a nice weekend away.

If you end up competing this year give me a shout and I will come and wave a banner for you.

Where did you stay near Eupen btw?

Hi again Skihorse

thank you again for brilliant links

Sorry to have been out of touch for a whole week - have been out of action with migraine-type illness which wouldn't go away. Back on form now though and (a bit shakily) back on horse this morning!!

Sadly, I don't compete anymore nowadays ... (used to regularly when I was young and fearless but parenthood intervened and I am now officially a wuss ) + a bit overweight and unfit!!) Would like to get back to some proper endurance riding though ...instead of Sunday hacking on my hairy armchair!!

Have a great time in Vrouwenpolder
