The European Eventing Championships showjumping action gets underway this morning (26 September) at 10am (BST), and it is set to be a nail-biting conclusion to the competition. Here, we take a walk around the European Eventing Championships showjumping course to check out the fences that stand in-between horses, riders and glory.
The British team are in gold medal position after yesterday’s cross-country action, with Britain’s Nicola Wilson also sat in individual gold medal position. It is very tight at the top too, with just four penalties separating the top seven combinations, so wait and see if the European Eventing Championships showjumping course proves to be influential…
