I AM just writing to congratulate you on a very comprehensive coverage of Badminton Horse Trials.

But there is one major omission your coverage of local riders failed to mention Vicki Brake, not only a local rider having been placed a brilliant 19th, but is also sponsored by the Whatley Manor Hotel. Vicki is a very hard working rider who has had to work very hard, often having to sell promising young horses, as she has only recently secured sponsorship.

Well done for supporting 'the third biggest supported event' in the world, shame the BBC didn't do the same, giving it no coverage at all on Saturday afternoon.

We agree Miss Brake did very well but the reason she was not included in our coverage is that she is from Salisbury. However, she has had a mention this week. Gary Lawrence, editor
