CIAN O’Connor has said he is “totally gutted” by the incident in which he and his horse Good Luck were impeded as they tackled the tough team round of the European Championships in Aachen yesterday.

Writing on his Facebook account this morning following late night talks with FEI officials, O’Connor said: “Totally gutted following yesterday's final team round at the European Championships in Aachen yesterday. As the matter is sub judice I will not comment on the incident at this time.
