Here are pictures of the fences that intermediate working hunter competitors faced at the Royal International Horse Show (RIHS) in ring 5 on Sunday 3 August.
As you will see, the fences are quite unusual and incorporate replicas of those found in the famous main arena at Hickstead, including banks and ditches.
The class was won by Jasean Sprggett riding Mrs Melanie Banks-Browne’s Kidside Ferguson.
