Pippa Funnell was delighted with Maybach (pictured) in the Bicton Horse Trials dressage this morning as she moved into third place in the CCI4*-L at the event supported by Chedington.
Pippa and the SHE Eventing’s 11-year-old gelding scored 29.7 to slot into the Chedington CCI4*-L running order behind her ride from yesterday, Billy Walk On, who still leads, and Piggy March on Brookfield Quality.
