After an exciting day on the cross country course, the Charles Owen British Pony team lie in the gold medal position going in to the final show jumping tomorrow.
As expected Eric Winter’s brand new cross country really tested the riders and had them thinking all the way round. Most of the long routes were used especially at the double of corners at 12, the triple downhill combination at 14 and the ditch/skinny combination at 17.
Six superb clear rounds from all the British riders have catapulted them into the lead. They sit on a team score of 150.1 some 36.3 marks ahead of their nearest rivals Germany who finish on 186.4. The Belgians complete the top three finishing on 188.5.
Pony team Chef d’Equipe Ginnie Keen was thrilled with her team’s performance.
She said: “Every single one of them was amazing and team coach Jonquil Hemming is equally delighted.
“Team orders were that whatever route they chose was the way they were going and every single one of them has done brilliantly.
“Every single rider has been a tremendous support to one another. They are a true team in every sense.”
Grace Walker and Noble Springbok took second place cross country – holding on to their dressage score of 46.9 after going clear.
Grace was delighted with the pony’s performance. She said: “He (Noble Springbok) was insane. It was amazing, he was so good.
“I went all the direct routes, I hadn’t been told not to so I stuck with my plan.”
