Some weak sunshine arrived in the afternoon which was most welcome and the team jogged up in the stables complex as always at Aachen.  No problems for our team of four and one individual and some fun photos with Libby Law afterwards before waiting for the Group 2 slot of arena familiarisation at 6.45 pm.   There are up to 4 nations in each group and they get to use the warm up arenas and the main arena for 45 minutes which is a nice length of time for the horses to get a feel for the arenas and hopefully to be more settled in the main arena for their test than if it was their first sight of it.

Team order is Ginny Thomasen and Capitaine de Hus Z (Alvin), Caroline Powell and CBI Aldo (Aldo), Jonelle and Senor Crocodillo (Diego) and Tim and Jarillo (Milo) last.  Lauren Innes and Global Vision M (Flipper) is our individual and as we drew 10th out of 11 teams we don’t at least have the earliest start tomorrow morning with Caroline on at 9.12.
