Reflections on Badminton’s cross-country
Mark Phillips reflects on Mars Badminton Horse Trials’s cross-country day in his exclusive H&H column this week. “Eric Winter’s cross-country course was very different this year – bigger, better and fairer than some of his previous efforts,” says Mark. “It was a refreshing change to the trend of modern courses with fewer skinnies and multi-element questions. Most of the combinations proved effective speed bumps, making the time difficult to achieve, even with perfect conditions.”
