The team from British Riding Clubs taking part in the CIC** European Championship at Laintal in Austria have returned home with a Team Silver medal and Individual Bronze.
The competition began with a group dressage test where all six team members performed together. The result in this phase of the competition was considered to be the best that a British CIC** team had ever achieved, scoring an amazing 80 percent. The Team test was followed by individual tests and by the time the dressage element was completed, Team GBR was in second place. The riders put in excellent cross-country rounds and a good performance in the final showjumping test to ensure that they remained in second position to secure the Team Silver Medal.
