Is the badminton streaming not working for anyone else, or just me?

Hello Twitter Eventing fans. I am trying to subscribe for Badminton TV, but it is only showing a US dollar option, which I don’t mind, but it is refusing my credit cards, which is annoying. I have plenty of credit available. Anyone else struggling, or am I just thick?

Sorry to have lost an amazing horse, Arctic Soul. He was one of Eventing’s over achievers. Like all competitors, he had a couple of blips, but his cross country record shows: 4*S - 11 clear in time, 4*L - 3 clear in time, and 5* - 8 clear in time. Pretty damn good.

Somebody very kindly sent us this picture of Chilli, but without a note or any sending address. If anyone knows who it is from, it would be lovely to know!

I am thrilled to be supporting the only 5star in the UK since 2019. We are using a paywall, but the money raised goes directly to the sport. Hope everyone enjoys it.

This is going to be fun, and everyone can support this event, the only 5star in the uk for 2 years, either on site or watching the Elite Eventing channel on Horse&Country.

Credit where credit is due - after some problems, Discovery Olympic Eventing coverage is working. Looking forward to watching the xc “as live” in the morning. The full replay option is the way to go and also sleep. Just avoid all media beforehand!

Discovery channel is down - “technical difficulties” - so cannot see the dressage I have paid to see. I know equestrian is not the biggest audience in the world, but we are passionate, willing to pay to watch, it lease treat us seriously! And @FEI, do something useful for once.

Dear friends and kind,
kind souls. Thank you so much for your messages of congratulations. I didn’t expect such overwhelming support and this honour is made so much shinier because of it.
How loving you all are. Fact. I have the receipts.

This is for the Eventing geeks. This filly is out of ChicoBella P (embryo transfer) by Chilli Rocks (Chilli Morning x Quicklook V). All three horses named above were shortlisted for the Rio Olympics, and 2 of them went. Give it 10 years…..

It is a shame that administrators are determined to keep a closed shop for wealthy amateurs.

I spent all afternoon watching Kentucky 5*. This is a great sport that deserves better from its frankly poor administrators. Oliver Townends performance was awesome. Control under pressure, focus, and ability of both him and the horse made me gasp

Just to make the point about marking, Tim Price just did a great test, but marks all over the place. Final halt had a 10, 8, and 6.5.

I am watching Pau (thanks H&C TV) and yet again the dressage marking is all over the place. Lovely to be able to see Eventing again, shame that this phase is still a lottery.

Lisa and I are very sad to say that Chilli Morning has passed away. He had been hacking as normal yesterday, and was in his turnout paddock this morning when he collapsed. He died instantly. He leaves us with the best memories.
