Great Britain’s youngest team rider Joe Stockdale and the 11-year-old mare Equine America Cacharel have posted a great round in Friday’s team final of the Agria FEI World Showjumping Championships, just adding four faults to the team score.

The pair looked confident as they attacked Louis Konickx’s tricky track in determined style, just succumbing to the second part of the oxer-oxer double at fence nine in an otherwise foot-perfect performance, and neatly inside the time allowed.
