Badminton

Looking back a few months it would have been hard to believe that Harry would be riding at all, let alone riding at Badminton. It's been a tough epoisode but Harry's perseverence (and at times stubborness!) have won over and it's just brilliant to be here!

This article appeared in today's Sporting Life and gives a little bit of insight into what Harry's been through:

Wild Lone has settled in well and has been put through his paces a couple of times today by Yogi Breisner in preparation for tomorrow's dressage.  In his usual impatient manner he was reluctant to stand for the judges at the first horse inspection but he trotted up beautifully and Harry didn't look too bad either, having been immaculately kitted out by hig long term supporters Cordings!
