Manx equestrian competitor Yasmin Ingham and Team Great Britain have been crowned FEI European Eventing champions.

Competing at Le Pin au Haras in France at the weekend, Ingham joined GB squad teammates Kitty King, Laura Collett and Rosalind Canter aiming to defend the title Great Britain had secured in the event in 2021.

Day one saw Ingham and her horse, Banzai Du Loir, finish top of the individual standings in the first part of the two-part dressage test with Great Britain taking top spot for the dressage stage as a whole.

The British side would go on to also finish top of the pile in the following cross-country and show-jumping classes to take the team gold with Ingham finishing 25th in both those categories individually.

Ingham's teammate, Canter would go on to be named individual European champion whilst King took individual silver.

Following the conclusion of the competition, Ingham took to social media to say she's 'incredibly proud' of her teammates for their 'outstanding performances'.

The Greeba competitor is also thanking everyone who's supported the riders and their horses during last week.
