Britain’s Tom McEwen finished second at the Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event today with JL Dublin.

It was a hugely emotional result for all connections of this horse, who was produced to the top level by Nicola Wilson before she suffered life-changing injuries in a fall at Badminton Horse Trials last year. Nicola and “Dubs”, who belongs to Jo and James Lambert and Deirdre Johnston, were European champions together in 2021.
