Jock Paget wins Badminton (NZ TV3 report 1)
Jock Paget winning the 2013 Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials has been the lead story in New Zealand, unlike the UK, where despite TEAM GBR winning the Silver at the London Olympics, the event has been largely ignored by the main stream media. This is a superb report with 'behind the arena' footage of Jock and the Clifton team shaking their heads in resignation at second, only to be stunned when Michael Jung dropped the last rail. Also features Woodhill Sands and Summer Phillips!
