Just watched the coverage of the European Championships, and I was bawling like a baby. SO exciting. Zara Phillips had an amazing crosscountry round in rain so heavy it looked as though she was riding through a waterfall. The showjumping was very tense – Pippa had two fences down with Ensign and rode off looking stunned, as though she was fighting tears. And then Zara went clear and won it, just as her mother did in 1971.
British gold in both Individual and Team – wonderful.
Wow, the look on her face is beautiful. I’m so jealous, I’ve always longed to ride horses.
