Well Done James!

James and his superb ride Comanche put in a consistent and solid performance across all the phases – dressage, cross country and show jumping – and finished in sixth position. It’s a huge achievement by any standard and James is in good company with some of the world’s top professional eventers but to achieve this whilst also enjoying a career as an equine vet is extremely impressive. During an interview with the BBC straight after his cross country ride, James was quick to acknowledge all those who support him and make his eventing career possible.
About this year's Badminton, James said: "Comanche was superb, another fabulous performance from a great horse at what I thought was one of the toughest Badminton courses that I've ridden. I thought the course design was very subtle and with more imagination than in previous years."
The Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials 2010 was won by Australian Paul Tapner aboard Inonothing. In terms of Brits, Daisy Berkeley on Spring Along and Mary King riding Imperial Cavilier came is third and forth positions respectively. Second place went to German rider Andreas Dibowski aboard Euroridings Butts Leon.
