The final day of eventing at the FEI World Championships in Aachen saw Great Britain once again claim team gold, while Germany’s Michael Jung secured the individual honours. A sixth-place finish from Andrew Hoy and a dressage-score completion for Sophia Hill gave Australians plenty to cheer about.

Following his cross country round, Andrew Hoy shared his thoughts on the course and event, his love for Vassily de Lassos, and why he remains enthusiastic about the sport 20 years on from his team bronze medal at the World Equestrian Games in Aachen.

Cross country day at the FEI World Championships was influential. Australian combinations Sophia Hill and Humble Glory proved they are world class as one of only six to go clear and under time, while Andrew Hoy and Vassily de Lassos retain a top ten position, and Great Britain maintains their team lead.
