RIDING AT BADMINTON GRASSROOTS Pt 1 | XC Course Walk & Dressage
Join us as we finally Compete at Badminton Horse Trials in the BE90 Grassroots Championships... if you're new here you may not know that we qualified for Badminton '23 but sadly due to my horse being poorly had to withdraw 2 weeks ahead of the competition. So Qualifying again and actually getting to ride on the prestigious turf felt even more special this year.
In this Vlog (Pt 1) we walk the Cross Country Course with Em and Cam, which is really insightful and got me even more excited about riding it!!
Huge thanks the Cross Country App for sponsoring this video and for making such a fabulous App that assists in us navigating the course.
You can d9own load the App here - apps.apple.com/gb/app/crossco...
We also complete phase 1 The Dressage in this vlog and were extremely fortunate to have been warmed up by my trainer Alex Bragg who went on to do Amazingly well in the 5* later in the week, so huge thanks to him for giving up some of his valuable time to assist little old me!!

I love coursewalks with Nala - her with her stick starting around fence 10 dropping it, sitting, and then when everyone starts moving, picking it up again and carrying on. And jumping the unfinished bridge was adorable. Well done Tina and Banks!

Tina, loved your excitement and ‘bring it on’ attitude in the course walk. You and Banks are an incredible team, you do each other proud ! And massive shout out to Alex, I’ve been a fan of his since his days with the amazing Zagreb. What a wonderful supportive trainer and so delighted with his result with Diva. What an amazing joy to watch you, Megs and Alex all smashing it !! Just brilliant ! Thank you for sharing .
Just keeping up with the Badminton videos but after seeing you and Banksy working towards this for such a long time, and you actually being here makes me somewhat emotional 🥺 you both as a team are great, can't wait to see all the amazing things that are coming up in the future!!

Love this so much! AMAZING riding, Tina and you have prepared the gorgeous and talented Banksy so well! He looked like he could have done it all over again the next day! What an amazing rider and horse person you are and what an incredible, beautiful and sweet horse he is! Thrilled for you and Meg and Alex; amazing riding and results all around! Of course Em is a supergroom because she's super at everything and we will see her at Badders next year, I'm sure! Love all your people, but Rob's reaction after cross country was my absolute favourite (after you and Banks of course!)!🤎🤍💙🖤♥
What an amazing journey, Tina you rode beautifully and should be so so proud of you BOTH🤩✨👏

Love Cam and his very intuitive take on this course. His advice at the broken bridge is spot on and considering the 5* are told by the course designer in his remarks to the riders to simply kick on at the grown up broken bridge. Tina you sound very positive and really bright and on it. Fabulous.

Well done- Gosh, your dressage has improved 10 fold this year! Alex really has done amazing things for your riding level & Banks way of going. But just as importantly, you should be super proud of yourself for all the hard work putting everything you were learning into practice until it was becoming habit, as that is the hardest part IME. 30 is a really good score for a champ track, but it is a bit of a shame about the judge at B not seeing your first give & retake, as I think Emily was spot on- that test looked like a sub 30 to me as well...29.5 would have been my guess. Very much looking forward to watching your SJ & XC rounds!
So bloody proud of you mate, best of luck for jumping. Much love to the whole crew. Kym from Oz xxxx

Crazy story, the day you left to travel to badminton me and my boyfriend were coming home from staying in Hayle and I said on the way back I would imagine Tina will be heading to badminton today and I said as a joke look out for a black and white lorry.. We were going along and my partner goes like that one coming up and IT WAS YOU! We then stopped at the petrol station on the dual carriageway and I said to him I wished I got a video going past then literally a minute later you and em stopped and went around the back! Really wished I came and said hi:( xx
