Six equestrians from the Isle of Man made the trip to Doncaster to compete in the UVEX Frickley Cup three day event.
The event, which is aimed at grassroots riders, included an additional BE80 three-day-event class for the first time.
Normally, three day events are limited to international classes with a starting height of 1.05m with a CCI1*.
The levels then follow to CCI2* (1.10m), CCI3* (1.15m), CCI 4* (1.20m) and CCI5* (1.20m).
In a three day event, riders will perform their dressage test on the first day, cross country on the second, and trot up on the morning of the final phase of the show jumping.
