I love three day eventing but this will be my first year braving the M25 to watch the Badminton Horse Trials-and at Easter too-good choice!! So is anyone else going and if so what day? Take a look at this years course walk videos in the Trot ON blog, and find out how you can catch the action on the TV. http://ttp://blog.trotontv.com/2011/04/anyone-for-badminton.html

One of my favourite riders is Mary King, better than ever at having had kids and now 49! The link is to a really good piece on her in the Telegraph this weekend :)

If you're quick you might still be able to get in for a course wallk with either last years winner Paul Tapner or the brilliant William Fox-Pitt, the proceeds of which will go to Cancer Research UK. Or you can walk the course with one of Britains best-Lucinda Green. http://www.badminton-horse.co.uk/visitor_information/course_walk.aspx

Ahh set to be such a nice weekend as well! Im planning on catching up with some of the highlights from Horse and Country TV, although they are not showing them until next weekend according to their website. Does anyone know if there is any other TV coverage, maybe live or showing highlights on the days?

Yes and I think FEITV is worth signing up for if you're outside UK. You might get more of the dressage with them too. Just read that there have been some withdrawals-Ollie Townend is just riding Ashdale Cruise Master, leaving Kiwi Andrew Nicholson as the pathfinder.

Mary King and William Fox-Pitt tell us why Badminton is so special and how this year it will have that extra edge as everyone is competing for Olympic places. Wish I could deal with my nerves by going to sleep like Mary!!
