Spectators at this year's Mitsubishi Badminton Horse Trials will be thrilled to see Mark Todd compete after he became one of the final riders accepted from the waiting list.

Mark originally rode at Badminton for the first time 30 years ago. He won the event in 1980 but hasn't competed there for ten years. He will ride NZB Grass Valley.

The list closed at 6pm last night and all riders are now confirmed for this year's event. 85 horses will today trot up in front of the ground jury in the hope of running their horses.
