Great Britain’s second team rider Joe Stockdale said it was “not the result he wanted” after picking up 12 faults on day two of the Agria FEI World Showjumping Championships in Herning, Denmark, on Thursday (11 August). This means that he drops down the order in the World Showjumping Championships results table.

Joe, 22, who only made his senior championship debut at last year’s Europeans, is riding at his first World Showjumping Championships with the 11-year-old mare Equine America Cacharel.
