The cross country course for the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials 2013 has been unveiled.
The course that director designer Hugh Thomas had in mind for a pre-Games work out in 2012 has taken on a different aspect this year and is ready to be tackled by a formidable field
Since the cancellation of Badminton in 2012, Hugh has made one or two subtle changes to the track that he designed for last year. As a part of the Olympic Legacy Programme some Greenwich fences have appeared at recent events and Badminton 2013 will feature what was the Ancient Market Place at London 2012 as the Swindon Designer Outlet Sunken Road
The course this year goes the left-handed way with clusters of action and long gallops between where riders will have to carefully judge their pace.There are serious questions all the way around until the riders have the elation of jumping the final obstacle in the main arena
Check it out in the videos below by Badminton Horse Trials. Emily Penney and Libby Law will be at Badminton for AEL bringing you all the action each day - we can't wait to see how this course rides
