EXPRESS EVENTING INTERNATIONAL CUP
2008

The inaugural running of the Express Eventing International Cup 2008 saw 19 of the world's top event riders vying for a top prize of £100,000 in the imposing Millenium Stadium in Cardiff.

This was the first time event riders have had to ride their dressage tests to music and it was certainly a great sight. "Working for the music test helped our dressage massively" said second placed Lucy Wiegersma.

The show jumping and cross country phases saw lots of thrills and spills, with many riders failing to complete the 3 phases but Oliver Townend and his imposing grey Flint Curtis stormed round the stadium in spectacular fashion to a convincing victory.

"The concept is brilliant and it's a lot of fun" said two times Olympic Champion Mark Todd.

Comprehensive highlights as seen on Sky Sports television.
