Hugh Thomas, Director of The 2012 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials, stands in front of the Savills Staircase (Fence 23) after announcing that the event will be cancelled due to poor ground conditions. The event, which was a key qualifier for the 2012 London Olympic Games, has been called off because of large areas of standing surface water and worries about the going of the Cross Country track.
