SsangYong Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials wrapped up overnight AEST in the UK, with Australian combination Amanda Ross and Koko Popping Candy finishing 10th of more than 100 starters.

The pair were 8th after the dressage phase on 29.4, went clear and under time in the cross country to rise as high as 5th, before one unlucky showjumping rail on the final day saw them finish the event in 10th on 33.4.

It was a fantastic effort by the Australian World Equestrian Games reserve combination.

Amanda was the highest placed international rider, with the 9 riders above her being British. It was Bella Innes Ker and Carolyn who won the class on 28.4, with William Fox-Pitt and Oratorio II in 2nd on 28.7 and Alexander Bragg and Zagreb in third on 29.6.
