Badminton

[Stephen Colly]

Hey all,

Just to say, I am off to Gloustershire tomorrow at 4:30pm to go to the Badminton Horse Trails because my auntie lives there so we get free passes to the Saturday Cross Country Day so we are staying in a hotel on the Friday night and will be there all day so I wont be able to get on from Friday night til Sunday!

Very excited, get to meet loads of famous riders and see the horses and stables!

Have a good time, Kitty!

[Daniel Brennan]

I'm confused... are you going horse riding, or are you going to play badminton?

[Leeroy Atherton]

She's going to the horseback riding trails CALLED Badminton, Daniel.

Its an estate in Gloustershire, confusing I know! The Duke of Beautfort and the Heythorp Hunt both hunt on the estate, its a deer park/fox hunting ground in Winter/Autumn and a 3 day event in May and then a livery/getting horses fit in the summer.

Have fun, I am sure you will. I have to say, I was like "Gone because of Badminton? What is it like a championship?" The explanation helped...

Back, it was pretty good fun! Met loads of famous people, I'll get some photos up. Met Zara Phillips, Princess Anne, Rodney Powell, Phoebe Buckley, Harry Meade, William Fox-Pitt, SAW Katy Price a.k.a Jordon....ah it was cool!

And yet, I have absolutely no idea who any of those people are.
