    Double Olympic dressage champion Salinero has died at the age of 28. The partner of Dutch rider Anky van Grunsven, Salinero won individual gold medals at the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. The pair set a freestyle world record at ’s-Hertogenbosch in 2006, scoring 87.925%, and followed it up with individual gold at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen that year. Over the course of his career, Salinero won five individual gold medals, plus four World Cup Final titles.

    3. An incredible recovery

    Piergiorgio Bucci and Cochello after their remarkable recovery in the World Cup qualifier of Madrid

    Italian showjumper Piergiorgio Bucci and his super gelding Cochello made a remarkable recovery during the jump-off for the Longines FEI World Cup qualifier in Madrid (27 November). The pair had set off in hot pursuit of the 42.16sec target set by speedy Frenchman Julien Epaillard with Caracole De La Roque in a hugely competitive 15-strong jump-off to decide the Madrid leg of the winter series. Everything looked to be going to plan, until a heart-stopping moment…
