Official Badminton Horse Trials 2009 DVD Launched
Official Badminton Horse Trials 2009 DVD Launched Equestrian Vision has just launched the official Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials 2009 review DVD. This DVD shows extensive highlights and fantastic coverage of all 3 phases of this top class eventing competition.
Eighty one combinations started this competition in the dressage phase on the Thursday and 10 countries were represented. The number of first timers at Badminton this year reached a record number of 24 riders. The windy conditions on the first two days made the dressage test more demanding for the riders and in the tightly packed leader board, Karin Donckers (BEL) lead the way in this phase. The perfect weather and ground conditions prepared the riders well for the cross country course, with 55 combinations completing without jumping penalties and 16 going inside the time. In the third and final phase, William Fox-Pitt put the pressure on the top 3 with an immaculate clear and only Oliver Townend and Flint Curtis could resist his challenge to win their first Badminton title, with William Fox-Pitt and his ride, Idalgo taking second place and Sam Griffiths (AUS) riding Happy Times taking 3rd place.
This DVD features expert commentary from Mike Tucker and is narrated by Jamie Hawksfield. Approx 100 mins at RRP £19.99 |  |
