First glimpse of Badminton Horse Trials 2013 cross-country course

The Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials cross-country course has been unveiled ahead of this year's event (2-6 May 2013)

Following last year’s cancellation due to waterlogging, this year’s course is similar to the one built for 2012, with a few minor adjustments.

Course designer Hugh Thomas offers expert insight into the challenges facing riders as he walks through the course with Daisy Berkeley in the official Badminton coursewalk video.
