Résumé :
In the build up to the 30th running of these Championships, the Germans were clear favourites to lift the team title having already secured World and Olympic Gold. Great Britain have won the last 7 European team titles but few expected them to lead after the dressage and then sweep before them, despite Badminton winner Flint Curtis not being on top form.
Kristina Cook (GBR) won silver at the Europeans in 1993 on Song & Dance Man and took a brilliant Bronze in Hong Kong last year at the Olympics on Miners Frolic. Despite her concerns about the cross country course suiting her long striding majestic thoroughbred, she would lead from start to finish on Miners Frolic to claim her first Gold although the winning margain in the end was less than a second from the 'find' of the event, Piggy French (GBR) and Someday Soon.
Team Gold went to Great Britain with Italy taking the Silver medal and Belgium took Bronze at this year's European Eventing Championships in France.
