Ros Canter has spoken about her two run-outs on the European Eventing Championships cross-country course today with her own and Caroline Moore’s Allstar B.

The British rider, who was second after dressage, was going well with her world champion until the final water, when the 16-year-old horse seemed not to see the arrowhead in at fence 28a. He ran past it and then had a further run-out at the triple brush arrowhead at fence 29.
