A full contingent of 2 senior teams, 3 female and 2 male individual vaulters with a total of 6 horses, head to Aachen for the annual CVIO at the World Equestrian Festival.

The squad includes the 1st and 2nd placed teams from the two British selection trials and individual vaulters are sisters Joanne and Hannah Eccles who competed last year at this event and are joined by Lucy Phillips with her promising Austrian horse ‘Pitucelli’.

The two males are both recently making a comeback following a year off : Ross foreman and Phillip Beasley.

Joanne Eccles leads the British hopes and goes in as one of the favourites for the individual title having been unbeaten internationally so far this year.

Amongst the best of the best, Joey Eccles takes 1st place at this prestigious event with a score of 8.923 on her horse W. H. Bentley, lunged by her father John Eccles.

This is the 3rd consecutive 1st place for Joey at International competitions she has attended this year alone and stands her in very good stead for a podium place at the European Championships to be held in Malmo, Sweden in late July.
