Horse Ball is described as, "a cross between rugby and basketball". This is a fast paced aggressive game that was invented in France. If they drop the ball, the riders just lean down and pick it up. The idea is to throw the ball from one to another and eventually through the basketball like hoop to score.

Don't try this at home! Australian Vaulter, Krystle Lander executes a difficult manoeuvrer during the Individual competition.

Riding for Great Britain and looking pretty pleased about it; Joanne Eccles looks confident during the Individual Vaulting competition.

How many Canadians can you fit on a golf cart? The Canadian Eventing took an historic Silver Medal and the Jumping Team headed in to the Team Final in fourth place.

Irishman now riding for Turkey, Gerry Flynn was early to go in the second round of the Team competition riding 'SIEC Ledgepoint' by Lancer II. Fifteen Individuals went first in an attempt to try and make it to the final 30 to go through to the Individual Title competition on Friday. Sadly Gerry had two down and his chances of making the cut are slim.

Number four in the world, Pius Schwizer riding 'Carlina' by Carvallo for Switzerland jumped a super clear and boosted his chances of making it in to the final 30. His clear tonight has him in 13th place. The second round tracl was a little tougher and 16 of the 55 to jump went clear.

Riding for Chile, Christian Santis jumped an impressive clear aboard 'Fanatico de Huincul' to be in 11th place individually after three qualifying rounds.

Chris Chugg celebrates a good round in his customary way, producing double pirouettes aboard the beautiful 'Vivant'. Chris opted to do five strides from the huge triple bar at 7, changed from the open water for the night time jump, and just dislodged the plank on the 1.60m Starting Gate vertical. The round was certainly good enough for a couple of pirouettes in front of his adoring Australian fans. Chris and Vivant are in 20th place after the three rounds of the Individual competition and Australia finished the Teams Championship in 7th place which was a fantastic effort.

John Pearce jumped a super clear round for Canada riding 'Chianto' by Carano. Sadly the Team could not match his efforts, although Beijing Gold Medalist, Eric Lamaze and Hickstead matched Pearce's clear, Canada finished in fifth place. John Pearce is in fifth place after three Individual qualifying rounds.

Rodrigo Pessoa shortened the odds on his taking out a second World Championship title. He jumped a characteristic round aboard 'HH Rebozo' by Tlaloc La Silla to come home penalty free. After three rounds they are yet to lower a fence and lead the field with 2.80 penalties. Brazil just missed out on a medal finishing in fourth place.

Janne Frederike Meyer jumped a very forward clear for Germany riding her amazing, 'Cellagon Lambrasco' by Achill-Libero H. They are 15th Individually and Germany claimed the Team Championship with nothing to add today on 17.80 penalties.

Matt Williams produced the round of the Australian team tonight by jumping a beautifully ridden clear round riding Gloria Eschenbach's 'Urleven van de Helle' by Esprite de Conquete. Matt finished down the line, but is the hero of the Team today.

Edwina Alexander jumped a super round yesterday and looked as if she was going tot do a reprise performance today riding the small sensation, 'Cevo Itot Du Chateau'. Sadly it was not to be with the vertical at 12a falling following the difficult four to five stride line from the oxer at eleven and very surprisingly the last fence a 1.90m oxer. The penalties have relegated Edwina and Itot to 21st place. It just goes to prove that even though we think some horses are machines, they prove to be horses after all.

Riding for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Abdulla Al Sharbatly jumped a good clear riding the Saudi Equestrian Federation's 'Seldana Di Campalto' by Emillon. They are in ninth place after three qualifiers and the Saudi team finished in eighth place.

Meredith Michael Beerbaum demonstrated the delight in securing the Team Gold Medal for Germany. In this picture she had just jumped a clear round aboard, 'Checkmate' after a rather surprise eight penalties yesterday. Meredith is in 18th place individually.

James Patterson-Robinson again produced a good Team round for Australia riding Ger Poels nine year old Diamant de Semilly stallion, 'Niack de L Abbaye'. They lowered 5a and 12a to come home with eight penalties. Australia could very easily have finished further up the rankings had luck been on their side. However at seventh out of 27 Teams Australia has easily qualified for the London Olympics.

World number one and reigning European Champion, France's Kevin Staut produced another superb round riding 'Silvana de Hus' by Corland. His efforts got the French over the line to claim the Silver medal with Belgium taking the Bronze.
