IRELAND’s Aoife Clark and Fernhill Adventure are perfectly poised in second place at the inaugural Event Rider Masters, Chatsworth, Britain after the opening dressage phase.

The pair impressed the judges enough to earn a penalty score of just 36.6, behind Britain’s Kitty King and Ceylor LAN (32.9).

Jonty Evans with Cooley Rorkes Drift (ISH) are in 14th on 40.9, while Sarah Ennis with Horseware Stellor Rebound (ISH) are in 20th place on 44.2

The show jumping phase will take place at 10.30am on Sunday morning, followed by cross-country in the afternoon.
