Wonderful
WANDIN
speedy James Lang incurred a time penalty,
plus two rails down. Things were shaping up
for an interesting competition - although as
we know, almost anything can happen on the
cross country course!

Shortly after the 3* showjuping had concluded,
the crowd noticed an air ambulance circling.
The death of eventer Olivia Inglis at Scone
was fresh in everyone’s minds, and spectators
were all looking on in concern. It turns out
that a rider in the Eva105 class had taken a
spill on the cross country course. According
to all reports following the event, the rider in
question was in a stable condition, and the
horse was okay. Wishing her all the best for a
very speedy recovery!
As it was a little while before the two and
three star riders were to hit the cross
country course, we went back to take
in the trade village, and check out
the showjumping phase in the EA
level classes. We have to say, the
standards were high! If only we
could take our pick as to which
horses we could pop in a float and
take back with us - not only were
there so many we could easily
have ‘stolen’ - but going to
Wandin as a spectator (or
to do a job!) just makes
you really want to get out
in the saddle and on that
cross country course.
(Maybe if they could
halve the size of
the jumps!)

Not a sight anyone wanted to see. Air Ambos on site.
Getting clever with scrabble letters. =)
Wandin at the water - always a spectator favourite!
