Badminton - Final Day

Sadly the Rolex Grand Slam was not to be! 

Parker rolled a pole in the show jumping and ended the dream but I was delighted with how he jumped and was very pleased to finish 5^th.   The only pole he touched was the third part of the treble which came down, so you’d have to say it was a little unlucky.  The whole Grand Slam created a lot of excitement and was an experience I wont forget but I am very glad it is over.

Earlier in the day Oslo jumped a superb clear round to complete his first Badminton.  It was definitely one of his best rounds and I was overall delighted with the feeling he gave me.  I am very excited to have him back on such good form and am looking forward to the second half of the season.
