IRELAND's Clare Abbott scored 48.1 in her dressage test with Euro Prince at the Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials this morning, her first time competing at the four-star event.

Abbott spoke to Josh Peacock after the test. "I'm happy with how it went, the trot felt balanced, the shoulder-ins, half passes, extended trot - it was all pretty solid.

"I am really looking forward to it [the cross-country], he has lots of experience and I think that pays coming to an event like this... my horse is addicted to jumping!"
