I'm thrilled for him! He is a lovely man, I met him and his daughters at the hunt yard I worked at, he's really good friends with the lady who employed me, as she used to event with him!

If anyone watched the coverage, the blond haired boy in the pink shirt who hugged Mark Todd, after he'd won, is my exbosses son, who has turned into quite a good friend! Gutted I couldn't go to Badminton this year!!

Ah I was watching the showjumping on tv - so pleased for him, very well deserved. Pleased with Mary King taking third too. Shame Laura Collett had a fence down as she had been very impressive in the dressage and XC phases. Would have liked to have seen Fox-Pitt in the top 10 but it wasn't to be (with either of his rides).

We watched some of the coverage today - some great rides in the cross-country, and some near misses too!!

Great weekend for all involved - well done to Mark Todd!

Brilliant! Well done to Mark Todd. I didn't see any of the TV coverage this year unfortunately, but no doubt it will be repeated on H&C at some point.
