One of British showjumper Scott Brash’s top horses, Hello Senator, has made his return to five-star competition, a year after he picked up an injury.

Lady Harris and Lady Kirkham’s 13-year-old gelding was back in action at the London leg of the Longines Global Champions Tour (LGCT) last weekend (19-21 August). He picked up four faults in the opening CSI5* two-phase, going on to jump clear in Sunday’s speed class where the pair finished seventh to winner Belgian rider Gilles Thomas.
