Animal welfare charity The Blue Cross has announced that it has been chosen as the
2008 Charity of the Year at one of the world’s most famous equestrian events, the

The Blue Cross will be permitted to collect
donations at the event next May. One of the cross-country fences at Badminton will
be named in the charity’s honour and Blue Cross horses will lead out the competitors’
