THE CCI4*-S class boasted one of the bigger entries of the week, with 31 combinations presenting in front of the Ground Jury, Joanne Jarden (IRL) and Emmanuelle Olier (FRA).

There were three combinations using this as their preparation for the MARS Badminton Horse Trials, a testament to course designer Helen West and the team at the venue. Gaspard Maksud (FRA) and Martin Thurlow and Jane Young’s 13-year old mare, Zaragoza (AES) will be full of confidence after their win.
