European Team Gold!!

I can't have been the only person on the edge of their seat throughout the entire European Team Championship Final tonight?! I was convinced we were going to have an unlucky slip up, but our boys delivered again! 


How that was Ben Maher and Cella's 3rd clear, keeping them on a score of 0 is crazy! I was expecting Billy Congo to play around on the corners at least, after his performance the past two days; nevertheless he rose to the occasion and pulled out all the stops producing a foot perfect round - despite my desperate clicking at the tv..

After the 4 jumping faults and 1 time for Michael Whitaker and Viking, William Funnell's round relieved the tension for a short moment, until I realised just how close the margin for error was and suddenly the moment was here!

How Scott Brash is so calm under pressure I will never know!

*The Voice in Scott Brash's Head* 
'You know, it's just the European Championships, last to go, & I'm just going to go, have one down, to keep them panicking then pull it out the bag. Gold. Standard.'

But honestly, we're all so proud of the boys; a repeat on Saturday in the individual and at the World Equestrian Games next year would be great thanks!
