The Great Britain team pathfinder Joe Stockdale provided a solid start on day one of the Agria FEI World Showjumping Championships in Herning, Denmark, on Wednesday 10 August.

Riding the 11-year-old mare Equine America Cacharel (Cachas x Quinar Z), Joe just picked up four faults at the triple bar at fence 12a, the second double on the course. The penalties are added to his time of 87.85sec to provide a final score of 91.85sec for this speed class on day one of the world showjumping championships.
