Zara Tindall has dropped out of contention after her Maryland 5 Star cross-country, having incurred 20 jumping penalties across country.

The British former world champion and Gleadhill House Stud’s Class Affair had an issue at the left-handed brush corner at fence 11, approached off a sharp right-handed turn from the skinny at fence 10b. This fence also put paid to the chances of the USA’s Hannah Sue Burnett and the experienced Harbour Pilot, who were equal fourth after dressage.
