Whitaker takes Birmingham honours

Having won her place in the Horse of the Year Show wild card competition at Arena UK, Ellen Whitaker really made the most of it by thrilling the packed house during the Zinc Management Trophy. 
In this class, riders chose their own routes to ride the jump-off and the British rider picked the one that suited her horse, Arena UK Lando, perfectly to take first place ahead of Lauren Hough on Ohlala while another Briton David Mc Pherson was third.
