Kitty King riding CEYLOR L A N in OI Section P during Aston le Walls (3) Horse Trials near Daventry in Northamptonshire in the UK on the 16th July 2020
Now that eventing is up and running again, we all love to see top horses and up-and-coming stars flying round the cross-country. And since spectators aren’t currently allowed at British Eventing fixtures due to Covid-19 rules, photos are the next best thing, so we’re delighted to bring you a selection of pictures from Aston-le-Walls last Saturday (18 July).
