Our intrepid foursome have arrived safely in Malmo, Sweden. All the ponies have travelled well and are settled and Team GBR camp is formed! This morning they all passed their measuring and have now also been passed by the vets.
The selectors now announced the running order; the debutante riders go first with Isobel acting as pathfinder, and Clare second to go tomorrow. Rebecca is third on Thursday morning with Phoebe our anchor woman.
