Bubby Upton, who has made a remarkable return to the saddle after sustaining serious injuries in a fall last year, took an early lead in the 2024 Badminton Horse Trials dressage results aboard Cola.
The pair were rewarded with a score of 27.3 from the judges, putting them atop the Badminton Horse Trials leaderboard at Thursday lunchtime.
Bubby, 25, fell when riding on the flat at home in August 2023. She sustained a complete burst fracture of vertebra L3 and a horizontal fracture of L2, among other vertebrae fractures.
“If you told me seven months ago that’d be here, I wouldn’t have believed you,” said Bubby after her test.
