With just a few days to recover from the excitement of the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event, we’re on to the Badminton Horse Trials CCI5*-L!
The event, which is located in South, Gloucestershire, England, is being held a day later than usual so cross-country day won’t coincide with Coronation Day in England. Dressage will be held on Friday, May 5, and Saturday, May 6. Cross-country runs on Sunday, May 7, and the show jumping finale will be on Monday, May 8.
