3 Star

Three riders, Harriet Wright, Hazel Towers and Niklas Bschorer shot into the limelight in the CCI3*, CIC3* and Event Rider Masters CIC3* classes at Blair Castle today

The CICO3* FEI Nations Cup Eventing has kicked off at the new venue of Wiener Neustadt where we do hope the Austrians were in national dress

As buggies hurtled around Blenheim (the only way to travel), the horses hurtled around the CCI3* cross country course before spectators enjoyed late afternoon CIC3* show jumping with a few drinks - a perfect day of eventing

The teams are ready, despite a couple of last minute changes, for the FEI Nations Cup CICO3* in Aachen and the competition is going to be fierce!

Michael Jung still holds the individual lead in the CICO3* at Fontainebleau but Paul Tapner has stolen the march on him in the CIC2* and France maintain a good lead in the teams competition
