Mary King and Apache Sauce took a two point lead at Burghley on Thursday.  In an interesting moment during the test, Mary missed a movement and was asked after she finished the test to redo it starting with that movement.

"I missed a movement out and carried on to the finish and Marilyn Payne [ground jury member at E] got out of the hut and told me I'd missed the serpentine," said Mary. "I did that then re-rode the last changes and final centreline and he did them better than the first time, so maybe it worked to my advantage."

There are 5 British riders in the top 6, including William Fox-Pitt and Pippa Funnel, who is returning to Burghley for the first time since 2004.  The 21 year old Laura Collet, who won European Young Riders with the British team, is a ride to watch on XC, as the Horse and Hound reports she will be running XC in "a running gag with two mouthpieces and Kineton noseband."

how come you guys have said nothing about Michael Pollard tied for 10th place. He is the only american there. Kinda dissappointing you havent said anything.

What is with the numbers on on the riders back in dressage???? Anyone know?

I agree.... Sounds like Michael had a GREAT score to sit in 10th.... GO MICHAEL!!!!

I'm taking a wild shot in the dark about the numbers, but perhaps more room for the sponsorship logo?

The number on her back, is just her competition number. No sponsorship thing or anything, just sometimes you have those and other times you have bridle tag numbers.

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like 'Mixview' that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you're listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of "neighbors" will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune "Social" is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.

I can't really help but admire your blog, your blog is so adorable and nice .
