Ros Canter topped the European Eventing Championships results this afternoon, securing individual gold and leading Britain to team gold on Michele Saul’s Lordships Graffalo.

“I’m very relieved – there’s quite a lot of pressure when you have a bit of a margin,” said Ros, who entered the arena with two fences in hand, and had one down. “It almost makes it worse – there’s longer to fall and the expectation was I should win it so I had to keep myself in my bubble, remind myself who I was sat on and try to do the best job I could in that situation.
