Britain’s chef d’equipe Di Lampard has selected a mix of youth and experience for the British team in Saturday’s FEI $150,000 Nations Cup CSIO 4* at the Winter Equestrian Festival.

“This year we have 10 riders out here in Florida, which is absolutely fantastic,” Di said. “It isn’t really surprising that it’s increased in number. Covid has changed the landscape of everything in the world, let alone showjumping. And there are a lot of tours going on and riders are going in all directions to take opportunities. It’s fantastic for them to come out here and experience this.”
