Ms Merrigan Martin’s score placed her third for England and fourth overall.

The Barnard Castle School pupil said: “To be selected meant so much to me. Wearing the England flag on my saddle cloth filled me with pride. I will keep on riding and training my horses the best that I can. I am on the lookout for other horses to compete in showing and dressage and will just continue with what I have been doing and seeing what comes along.

“I am taking some of my British Horse Society exams but also have university to look forward to in the future.”
