Ingham Helps Score a Win For Team GBR in Germany

Sat, 02 Jul 2022

Yasmin Ingham & Rehy DJ finished a very respectable 12th place individually at CHIO Aachen, and were also part of the winning British team.

After performing a “clear round” in the dressage scoring 30.1 this left her in equal 16th place after the first phase. A faultless showjumping performance round a technical course in the 40,000 seat stadium elevated her to 8th position heading into cross country.

Ingham said of her round “I rode everything as I planned to ride, all my training at home came to the fore,  he rose to the occasion and loved the atmosphere”

Saturday morning dawned dry, bright & sunny, with almost perfect ground conditions around the cross country course. Yasmin & Piglet were drawn near the end of the competitions thanks to their overnight position.

A hold on course 3 riders before Yasmin was due to start didn’t help the nerves for her or her support crew, but she set out of the start box in determined fashion. Piglet may not be the fastest of horses, but he was very straight and went between the flags all the way around the course, coming home just 29 seconds over the time.

The track caused its fair share of issues all the way around the track, with only 29 of the 42 starters making it home. No-one made the optimum time, though some did come close.
