Zara Phillips was riding in the lower classes of the event and there to watch her were brother Peter and wife Autumn with children Savanah (3) and Isla (1). Zara and her horse Mr Murt parted company during the cross country part of the event and was eliminated.

Brian Turner took rider Mark Todd through a scollop dish, and former race horse Kauto Star showed off his new dressage skills with local star Laura Collett.

PS. It amazing how things move on in a few days.

She suffered serious injuries and at this time is still in the ICU. Sportswindon wish her well and a quick recovery.©calyx_Pictures_barbury_3619
