Team GB have claimed another bronze medal in Tokyo after three fine performances in the dressage team final saw them finish behind a flawless Germany and the USA.
The eventual winners were the widely fancied favourites at the Tokyo Equestrian Centre and deservedly claimed the title with 8178 points.
The USA took 7747 while Great Britain finished third after scoring 7723 in total.
Germany's three riders delivered inspired runs to clinch them the gold medal in team dressage

Charlotte Dujardin delivered an impressive run on her mount Gio, but has missed out on becoming the first British woman to win gold at three straight Olympics for now.
Carl Hester took to the sport's biggest stage with aplomb atop En Vogue, scoring 78.344 per cent with the young horse to keep Britain firmly in contention.
The experienced Hester and his 12-year-old gelding enjoyed a flying start, and were treated to eights and nines.
