GB take fourth place in the Team Dressage at the FEI Pony European Championships 2010
2010-07-29
The British team took fourth place in the Team Dressage competition with a score of 202.66 - missing out on bronze by just 4% across three riders.
A sparkling performance this morning from Team GB debutante Erin Williams (12) and Danny Boy B (69.55), and a solid performance from Claire Gallimore and Gigolo, who ended on a score of 68.61 despite a slip-up, took Team GB from seventh overnight, to fourth.
Chef d'Equipe Liz Mills was philosophical about the team's performance. She said: "It's frustrating, but they all rode well and they are a great team."
Erin Williams thoroughly enjoyed her test; "I really enjoyed it," she said. "I thought I'd be nervous, but when I got in there I just thought 'get in!'."
The top 25 combinations, including three British riders, will go through to Friday’s individual competition which promises to be hotly contested. All the riders will revert to zero scores.
