Defending champions Jonelle Price and Classic Moet head up the Gatcombe entries for the British open at the Magic Millions Festival of British Eventing next month (5-7 August).

This is the first time the Festival of British Eventing has run since 2019, as Covid-19 caused its cancellation in 2020 and 2021. New Zealand pair Jonelle and Classic Moet, who is now 19 years old, won the showcase class three years ago, when Ben Hobday and Shadow Man II took the national title.
