Amazingly the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials, due to start on Wednesday, has been cancelled.
The Press Release advises that;
“The recent exceptional rainfall has left the ground at Badminton totally waterlogged and partially flooded. Further rain is due this week leaving no chance of the ground drying out. Very sadly therefore the 2012 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials has been cancelled.
Purchasers of advance tickets, exhibitors, Sponsors and riders will of course be refunded as soon as is practical”
The weather has been exceptionally wet in the past week in the UK with all events being cancelled last weekend but the cancellation of Badminton, one of the key selection events for almost all nations, will pose some interesting challenges for selectors around the world
We will bring more information as it comes to hand
