Ryttare bedömer krävande terrängbana vid Badminton Horse Trials

Flera framstående ryttare har delat med sig av sina första intryck av terrängbanan vid 2026 års Badminton Horse Trials, som designats av Eric Winter. Banan består av 32 hinder och har en optimal tid på 11 minuter och 30 sekunder.

Gemma Stevens beskrev bansträckningen som rättvis i det stora hela, men noterade den upprepade utmaningen vid Vicarage Ditch. Hon sade att banbyggaren hade satt utmärkta avstånd och undvikit onödiga klurigheter, men tillade att det kändes tufft att behöva hoppa över diket fem gånger med tanke på dess inneboende svårighetsgrad.
