    • Two horses were held at the European Eventing Championships first trot-up in Haras du Pin, France, this afternoon, but both passed on re-inspection.

    Timmo, the mount of German squad member Nicolai Aldinger, was the first horse to be held by the ground jury of Judy Hancock, Katrin Eichinger-Kniely and Seppo Laine.

    The second horse sent to the holding box was Toubleu De Rueire, who will be ridden by Switzerland’s Mélody Johner.

    Yasmin Ingham was third up, with the Sue Davies Fund’s Banzai Du Loir. Tom Jackson came after her, leading Patricia Davenport, Milly Simmie and Sarah Webb’s Capels Hollow Drift.

    Kitty King was the penultimate British rider to present, with Vendredi Biats, owned by Diana Brown, Sally Lloyd Baker, Sally Eyre and Samantha Wilson.
