Britain has won three gold and two bronze medals at the Pony European Championships at Bishop Burton College in East Yorkshire.<\/p>\n

‘Fantastic result’<\/h2>\n

The showjumping team took gold on eight penalties ahead of Sweden in silver position and France in bronze.<\/p>\n

Jumping on Team LeMieux were 13-year-old Claudia Moore (Elando van de Roshoeve),15 year-old\u00a0Shaunie Greig (Casino Royale), 15 year-old\u00a0Perdita Digby (Kayleighs Star) and 16-year-old Nicole Lockhead Anderson (Gangnam Style II).<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic result,\u201d said chef d\u2019equipe Clare Whitaker, who is married to the legendary showjumper John.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was helping warm Nicole up when word came through that they\u2019d won the gold. I wasn\u2019t sure and didn\u2019t dare believe it until official confirmation came.\u201d<\/p>\n

‘So emotional’<\/h2>\n

Claudia went on to win individual bronze with Elando van de Roshoeve, and is the youngest Brit to win a Pony European Championship medal.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo have won a team medal and then to win an individual medal was just the icing on the cake,\u201d said Claudia. \u201cWhen I came out the arena mum and dad started crying, they were so emotional. I didn\u2019t join them in the crying as I think I had cried myself dry on the Friday!\u201d<\/p>\n

Silver went to Ireland\u2019s Max Wachman, while Swedish rider Ingemar Hammarstrom was crowned European Pony Showjumping Champion.<\/p>\n

Held their nerve<\/h2>\n

On the final day of the championships Team GB won team gold and individual gold and bronze in the eventing. It was a thrilling competition, where one showjump would have made the difference between a medal and dropping outside the top ten.<\/p>\n

However the team held their nerve, and Hattie Grace (Noble Superman), Ellie Healy (Midnight Dancer II), Daisy Proctor (Holiday Chase) and Saffie Osborne (Little Indian Feather) hung onto gold with a final score of 101 penalties. Ireland took silver on 107.5 and France won bronze with 108.5.<\/p>\n

Over the moon<\/h2>\n

In the individual event 16-year-old Saffie jumped clear for gold while Daisy won bronze.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so happy to do it for everyone,\u201d said Saffie. \u201cEveryone deserves this so much, it\u2019s not so much the individual medal, but to be able to bring home the team gold is incredible. I\u2019m over the moon for everyone it couldn\u2019t have gone much better!\u201d<\/p>\n
