Sarah Bullimore achieved a clear round today in the European Eventing Championships showjumping to move up from fifth overnight and take the individual bronze on her home-bred Corouet.

The British rider said: “I feel emotional – it’s been quite a rollercoaster. Just to even get here [to a championship] has taken me 10 years. I’ve been on the reserve list all those years and to finally actually be picked straight out is a major, major thing.
