Sadly it just wasn’t meant to be for
Oliver Townend after Armada kicked
down four rails which cost him and
he dropped down into eighth place.
Twelve out of the 38 starters
jumped double clears, with fence
five causing numerous problems.
Only six riders collected time faults.
Two other British riders also made
the top 10 – Gemma Tattersall, who
rose from 27th after dressage to
fifth with Arctic Soul, and Izzy Taylor,
seventh on KBIS Briarlands Matilda.
