British showjumper Joe Stockdale arrived in France this week in his role as alternate rider for the Great Britain showjumping team at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

For this momentous occasion, his equine partner Cacharel is now sporting some motivational horseshoes – which came as a complete surprise to her 24-year-old rider.
