Great Britain’s bid for glory in the European Showjumping Championships began this morning with a solid opening round from pathfinder Georgia Tame on Z7 Ascot.

The 23-year-old had the daunting task of jumping first from a field of 65 in the opening leg of this championship in Riesenbeck, Germany, and came home with just four faults at an early oxer to add to her time for a score of 91.62.
