Oliver Townend had a busy weekend at Weatherbys Bank Cholmondeley Castle Horse Trials in Cheshire with 10 rides across the BE100 and novice sections.
Unfortunately when he reached the water with Cooley Q in novice section H, things did not go quite according to plan…
Although rather wet, horse and rider were quickly back on their feet.
