Britain is out of the team competition after a fall for second team rider Piggy March on the Agria Blenheim European Championships cross-country course.

Piggy was enjoying a great round with Jayne McGivern’s lovely grey stallion Halo, until he took off a stride early at the filled-in brush corner in the GFS Saddles Water (fence 10abc). He launched himself at the fence, hitting it low down on the front face and struggling awkwardly across it, throwing Piggy out of the saddle. She was soon up on her feet.
