Tom McEwen has had a great Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event cross-country round with Jo and James Lambert and Deirdre Johnston’s JL Dublin, finishing with 5.2 time-faults.

This is still a relatively new partnership between the British Olympic double medallist and the 12-year-old JL Dublin, who was produced to top level by Nicola Wilson, winning the European Championships before Nicola was seriously injured in a fall at Badminton Horse Trials last year. Today marked a first top level start for Tom and “Dubs” as a combination.
