Bloody noses, cars on the track, sunshine, dips in the water and a fantastic day of cross country action at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials
Held since 1955, the PCAV State Horse Trials Championships for qualified Grade 1 and 2 PCAV riders took place this year in very sunny Rosedale
What a place to warm up for dressage - Chilham Castle provided a great cross country course, stunning backdrop and even the sun shone (at 6:30pm!)
We talk to young British rider Harry Dzenis about his second crack at Badminton, his horse Zam and what the next few days hold in the lead up to the big CCI4*
