Former British team stalwart Daisy Berkeley has returned to compete at Mars Badminton Horse Trials after a 16-year gap, scoring 32.9 with Diese Du Figuier to sit joint 18th after her test on the second day of dressage (Friday 8 May).

Daisy last rode at Badminton in 2010 on Spring Along – the cheeky little bay who took her to European team gold, world team silver and Olympic team bronze – finishing third.
