The European Dressage Championships kicks off in Hagen, Germany, tomorrow (Saturday 11 September) and the times have been released for the freestyle, which will be the final senior competition at these championships.

Although all four British riders finished inside the top 15 to qualify for the grand prix special, the rules only allow three riders per country to compete in the freestyle, so sadly Gareth Hughes misses out.
