Full Badminton draw: find out who’s the pathfinder and who will be last on course…
The Badminton Horse Trials draw, for the event which runs 4-8 May and is presented by Mars Equestrian, has been released.
Harry Meade will be the pathfinder, on either Tenareze or Cavalier Crystal, depending on which two of his three horses he chooses to run.
British first-timer Kylie Roddy will be the final competitor out on course, riding SRS Kan Do. Drawn as number 41 among the star-studded entries, Zara Phillips has since withdrawn.
All the horses still on the entries list have been included in the Badminton Horse Trials draw, including those which are multiple entries – riders can only start on two horses – and those which are currently on the waiting list and replace those who are withdrawn up to 2pm on the Sunday before the event.
The draw was performed on Facebook live on the event’s Facebook page, with the numbers drawn by the Duke and Duchess of Beaufort, alongside presenter Rupert Bell.
