The start lists have been confirmed for the first round of competition as the Agria FEI World Showjumping Championships get under way today (10 August).

The first competition is a speed class, which sets the baseline for the rest of the week’s action, and all eight British and Irish combinations will be in action. The first horse and rider to carry the Union Flag into the Stutteri Ask Stadium will be Joe Stockdale and Equine America Cacharel, who have been drawn 11th to go.
