Disease outbreak forces international show to cancel

An outbreak of equine herpes virus (EHV) has forced an international dressage competition to be cancelled.

Saumur CDI was due to be held from 3 to 6 May, with classes from ponies to three-star, but the show has been cancelled on advice from the French institute of horses and riding (IFCE), the FEI and the French equestrian federation (FFE).

Several Brits were entered for Saumur, including Alexandra Hellings, Maddy Wheland and Bronte Watson.
