After all of the excitement of Mark Todd’s Badminton win, let’s not forget the other main event at Badminton: the Shetland Pony Grand National.
This event is a terrific fund raiser for charities and also looks like a heck of a good time for kids and ponies alike. It’s a lot safer than Aintree, too.

Thanks for posting this! Love the Shetland GN. I see #8 rode without stirrups. Impressive. These ponies are so game, and well trained. Of course, I was rooting for the palomino all the way…
