British Eventing held its annual visit to Brook Farm, Great Somerford, Wiltshire, for three days over the last weekend.

It was a great team effort to get the grounds and courses ready, due to the amount of hot weather we are experiencing at this time, so it was fit and safe for the competitions.

There were a high number of entries over the three days, and local riders had some strong results, including Bella Innes Ker, who finished fourth in Saturday's BE100 Section A on Hildare Harrier.

Lissa Green came in first position in Section C in the BE100 Open Class.

Katey Cuthbertson had a strong ride on cross country to finish in third place in the Intermediate Saturday Section E Class.

Katey also finished second in Class G1 on Biddesden Tiarella, and the class winner was Hampshire-based rider Erin Taylor on Catherson Oakley.

However, things got better for Hector in Novice Monday Section M, where he won on Lancelot.

Jack Pinkney had a total of eight horses at the event, with his best finish coming in Section O of the Open Novice Monday Class, where he was placed second on Isle Abbot.

There was also a 10th place finish in Section Q1 for Yasmin Olsson-Payne on Canalatto Denfer.
