Pippa Goddard piloted pint-sized PDV Constanza to victory in this morning’s Breen Equestrian CSIYH1* Final, besting a nine-strong jump-off to stop the clock on 36.01 seconds – nearly two-and-a-half seconds faster than second-placed Holly Smith and Nike van het Singraven.

“I wasn’t actually sure if I should even ride in this class,” admits Sweden's Marcus Westergren, who rebounded from a very tricky day in yesterday's Agria Nations Cup of Great Britain to win today's Unex Group Speed Classic with Fellaini de Liebri Z. A comeback king!

"It's super special -- after having won it last year, the pressure was on," admits Helen Baker, who secured the Ellena Thomas BSHA Supreme Hack Championship once again with the charismatic Boston Black Tie.

"He jumps; he hunts; my mum takes him cross-country schooling. My granny keeps threatening to get on, which we might let her do one day!" Alice Homer and Tidy Town are – for the second year running! – the winners of the Culford Lodge Commodities Small Hunter Championship.

What a woman, what a horse, what a round! Gemma Stevens zoomed to the win in the Ashby Underwriting Eventers Challenge with Cooley Park Muze, who delivered one of just two clear rounds and finished over eight seconds faster than second-placed Alex Bragg and Ardeo Premier.

After winning all three weight categories, Robert Walker had to deputise among his trio of rides for this afternoon's Sport Horse Breeding (GB) Supreme Hunter Championship – and ultimately, it was his son, Sam, who would pilot the lightweight Flash Point to the title.

“He’s got the most unbelievable heart,” says Jordan Coyle, winner of the ClipMyHorse.TV Tankard with For Gold. “He wants to do it. He’s maybe not the most talented horse in the world, but by God, he wants to do it, and he loves to win as much as me.”
