    There will be no British showjumping team at the 2017 European Championships, as the team focus is instead on the Nations Cup series.

    Instead William Whitaker is representing Britain as an individual on Ludwig Criel’s Utamaro D’Ecaussines. Michael Whitaker was also set to compete for Britain as an individual on his wife Melissa’s, Viking, but was forced to withdraw after the horse was “not quite right” before he was due to jump in the opening competition.

    The showjumping competition is taking place in the Ullevi Stadium, which is also the venue for the dressage championships.
