    • 1. First British team for Herning revealed

    Congratulations to the four riders who have been selected to carry British hopes at the para dressage World Championships in Herning next month. The same four horse and rider combinations that competed at the Tokyo Paralympics will be heading to Denmark to try to regain the title of world champions, after the Netherlands beat Britain to team gold in Tryon 2018. We wish them all the very best of luck!

Lily Atwood on Cor-Leon VD Vlierbeek Z, Grace Debney on Boheme De La Roque, Lila Bremner with Memphis V/D Vaart and Olli Fletcher aboard Hello William finished in third place on 18.84 penalties in the young rider competition, behind Belgium on 14.08 and Germany on 17.17. Harry Allen, brother of Bertram, won individual young rider European bronze on Over Lux.
