Britain’s eventing squad touched down at Versailles yesterday (Wednesday, 24 July) and are settling into the Olympic venue. The Brits arrived in France on Monday, via LeShuttle, and the horses were based at private stabling to break up the journey before travelling on to Versailles yesterday. An FEI spokesperson said: “For these four-legged Olympians who have been training hard to compete on a global stage, their accommodation is nothing short of a five-star rating.”
