Rebecca Howard & Riddle Master Finish 12th at First Badminton Horse Trials! * Watch her X-Country Video

Rebecca Howard and "Rupert" jumped one of the very few showjumping rounds today to finish 12th in their very first Badminton. Wow!

That means that they only added 0.8 penalties to their dressage score. 

What an exciting day for Rebecca, her supporters, and owners  Caroline Bazley and Jean Watson of Blithe Hill Farms. 

Check out this great video from HorseJunkiesUnited.com , where Rebecca describes the weekend as a "rollercoaster of emotions" and says that she will regroup after this weekend to figure out where the pair go from here.
