Badminton: two days to go

"I slept really well again and woke up at 8.30am – a very long lie in! I hacked Jasper (Tankers Town) around the park again – he's a bit more settled today.

I decided that rather than walk the cross country course, I'd work Jasper (Tankers Town) and go into the main arena for familiarisation. He worked well, but I still decided to ride him again after the trot up. The trot up went well, he's rather practised at these now! I practised some parts of the dressage test and it all went really well. My old groom, Sophie Smith, arrived to help and other friends and family are coming too, which is always good fun. I had a lovely meal in the evening and watched The Apprentice, which I find very amusing."
