There have been three more Badminton Horse Trials withdrawals, for the event presented by Mars Equestrian, and the cut-off has been reached for accepting horses from the waiting list.

Harry Meade has withdrawn Charlotte Opperman’s Cavalier Crystal, who would have been the pathfinder, saying she has had a “minor setback”. Kirsty Chabert will now be first into the dressage arena and out on course with her father John Johnston and Carole Somers’ Classic IV. Harry will still start on Charlotte’s Away Cruising.
