From April 16 to May 8, Horse & Country TV bring a round-up of Badminton 2010 coverage, culminating in a Badminton Bonanza on Saturday, May 8, from 12 noon to 9pm.
Coverage kicks off on Friday April 16 with a preview show featuring British team chef d’equipe, Yogi Breisner, who shares insights on his personal relationship with Badminton, from his early memories through to his own experience in the saddle riding at the event. The preview looks at all three phases and how these will challenge today’s partnerships. This exclusive behind the scenes coverage tips the riders and runners Yogi will be keeping an eye on in this year’s trials.
Also on April 16, Badminton Director and course designer, Hugh Thomas, and Polly Stockton who has been a Badminton contender nearly every year since 1995, walks around the cross-country course, reviewing each element in turn and where the big questions will be asked.
On Saturday May 1 and Sunday May 2 of the weekend of the trials, H&C will take a look back at some of Badminton’s best moments and highlights, with retrospectives from classic years’ events.
Clips of the best action from all four days will be available online each evening at www.horseandcountry.tv




After a couple of recent visits to Musselburgh racecourse, I am of the view that it is a worthy contender for a racecourse of the year award.
