The 2016 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton CCI**** is officially over—the riders returned home, the dressage ring taken down, the cross-country flags removed for another year, memories of a Rolex Grand Slam victory stored.
But it’s still possible to relive the moments through just a few of the thousands of photos one lucky journalist (me) took on her first trip to the event.
Badminton, Great Britain—May 7
The cross-country phase of the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton CCI**** ran today, with Michael Jung holding his lead on La Biosthetique Sam FBW.
Check out some images from the course:

Badminton, Great Britain—May 7
It’s almost like Michael Jung rode a different course than the rest of the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton CCI**** competitors.
While others were running into problems—or at the very least having a rough moment or two—Jung and La Biosthetique Sam FBW skipped around the influential track without jumping or time penalties, making it look like a novice horse trials.
Badminton, England—May 6
As cross-country begins tomorrow at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton CCI****, Michael Jung will leave the start box on La Biosthetique Sam FBW in a position familiar to him—in first. No one could top him on the second day of dressage here today, but one rider came close, and that’s Great Britain’s Emily King. King’s here with Brookleigh riding at her first Badminton, and she scored 36.8 penalties to Jung’s 34.4.
