The 2013 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials was as thrilling a competition as one could hope for. Crowds revelled in glorious sunshine and soaked up the amazing atmosphere of this world class competition.
Re-live all the best of Badminton 2013 with The Official Badminton DVD Review from Equestrian Vision, the leading distributor of equestrian DVDs in the UK.
In a thrilling climax to a classic competition, the young New Zealander, Jonathan (Jock) Paget kept his cool to win the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials on his first attempt.
Clifton Promise rose to the occasion with a superb double clear to finish on their dressage score of 39.7. Germany’s Michael Jung, the current Olympic, world and European Champion, looked to have the win in the bag before La Biosthetique-Sam FBW took the front rail of the final fence, relegating them to second place.
Andrew Nicholson did everything he could with a double clear on Nereo to finish on his dressage score which was good enough to keep him in third.
His bid for the Rolex Grand Slam required more errors from the top two which was not to be. Britain’s William Fox-Pitt also saw his chances of the Rolex Grand Slam disappear when Parklane Hawk had one down to finish in fourth place.
Also just launched is the Little Book of Badminton, by Julian Seaman. Kit Houghton’s action photographs wonderfully compliment the text and bring to life the majesty and excitement of the equestrian disciplines.
