O’Combo De L’Eau on form at Edenbridge & Oxted

After a two-way decider at Edenbridge and Oxted (26-27 August), the coloured stallion O’Combo De L’Eau claimed his first Area Trial victory for owner-rider Pennie Cornish. They pushed the in-form William Funnell and his home-bred Cortaflex Billy Birr into second place.

Laura Louden (Vladimir) and Georgie Strutton (Wonderboy) are Olympia-bound after taking the top two places in the Young Showjumper Award.
