As the four star competitors roll into the village of Badminton for the world-famous Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse trials, the Grassroots competitors have finished day one of the 2011 Badminton Grassroots Championships.
The competition was held at Badminton for the first time in 2010 in much different weather to what we are experiencing today! The blazing sunshine has emphasised the fantastic background of the day with over BE90 and BE100 competitors performing their dressage tests.
The series aims to champion those people who want to compete at the introductory levels of Eventing – at the other end of the spectrum from Badminton’s four star competition, and includes many riders who compete as amateurs or as a hobby.
