Eventing fans can vote for which Badminton Horse Trials highlights programmes they would like to watch during the week when the competition should have run (6-10 May), had it not been cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Members of the public can vote for up to three three highlights programmes from 1991 to 2018. The Badminton website includes a summary of the story in each year to help jog memories for voters, with the archive available stretching from Rodney Powell’s 1991 win on The Irishman II to Jonelle Price’s victory on Classic Moet in 2018.
Once the public shortlist of 10 programmes has been chosen, a panel of Badminton experts will whittle the choice down to five shows, which will play on the Badminton website during the competition week.
The expert panel consists of Badminton event director Jane Tuckwell, four-time Badminton winner Mark Todd, Badminton media director Julian Seaman and cross-country course-designer Eric Winter.
