Great Britain has claimed the bronze medal at the Agria FEI World Showjumping Championships in Herning, Denmark, on Friday 12 August. But the team’s anchorman Scott Brash, who had also been in the individual silver medal position after day two, picked up an uncharacteristic eight faults under the lights with the spring-heeled Hello Jefferson, having jumped clear all week.

Scott was understandably “disappointed” with what became the team’s drop score for today, and attributed some tensions in the warm-up arena for his below-par performance.
