The wet weather yesterday and overnight has forced European Eventing Championships cross-country changes, with both the timetable and the course itself being altered.

The start of the action has been put back two hours “in order to prepare the course and provide consistent conditions for all horses and riders”, according to a statement on the FEI Facebook page.
