The European Dressage Championships times are out for the grand prix, which takes place on Wednesday, 6 September, and Thursday, 7 September.
Having passed the trot-up earlier this morning, the British horses and riders will be in action as they hope to go one better than their European silver in 2021.
European Dressage Championships grand prix times: the Brits
Gareth Hughes and Classic Briolinca: 12.33pm on Wednesday (11.33am UK time)
Carl Hester and Fame: 4.24pm on Wednesday (3.24pm UK time)
Nanna Skodborg Merrald (DEN) and Blue Hors Zepter: 4.06pm on Thursday (3.06pm UK time)
Patrik Kittel (SWE) on Touchdown: 4.33pm on Thursday (3.33pm UK time)
Emmelie Scholtens (NED) on Indian Rock: 4.42pm on Thursday (3.42pm UK time)
The very first combination into the arena on Wednesday morning will be Gabriele H.-Kiefer and Cyprus Ophelia at 9.39am (8.39am UK time), competing as individuals for Cyprus. She will be followed by the first of the team riders, Yvonne Österholm riding Ironman H for Finland.
The grand prix solely decides the team medals, with the top three scores from each team to count. The grand prix also acts as a qualifier for the grand prix special, which takes place on Friday, 8 September, and from which the first set of individual medals are decided. The top 30 combinations from the grand prix will qualify to compete in the special.
