Louise Harwood 5th at Gatcombe

Louise Harwood was 5th in the British Open Championship at Gatcombe over the weekend.  The class was won by Australian Christopher Burton, with Jonelle Price of NZ second, so it was 3rd placed Nicola Wilson who was crowned British Open Champion as the highest placed British rider.  Oliver Townend was 4th and Louise 5th and therefore the 3rd best British rider with Whitson who jumped a fast XC round to add to a sub 40 dressage and just one rail down showjumping for another great result on Roy and Emma Baker’s Whitson.
