Pippa Funnell has moved down to third after the Chedington Bicton Horse Trials cross-country, having added 4.8 time-faults to her leading dressage score with Billy Walk On.

“I knew he’s not the fastest horse in the world, so I knew I had to get in such a good rhythm and keep plodding away,” said Pippa.
