The European Eventing Championships dressage concluded today and the British riders are in brilliant form. They hold pole position in the team competition, ahead of Germany and Belgium, and occupy six of the top 10 individual places.

Anchorman Ros Canter produced a spellbinding test from Lordships Graffalo to take second, behind Germany’s Michael Jung, with fellow Brit Tom McEwen in third, riding as an individual on JL Dublin.
