There was a really good entry and the weather was perfect which all added up to a really enjoyable day with everyone coming home safe and sound. Although the going was a bit hard the three phases – dressage, show jumping and cross country – all rode well with the cross country causing enough problems so that the final results were not just dependent on the dressage.
