Together, they have established themselves as an FEI combination and achieved numerous accolades.

Arnold, known for his distinctive appearance and vibrant markings, is an endurance circuit standout.

The duo's remarkable journey has been marked by consistent success, including an impressive record in the Little Dragon, having completed the challenge five times, and securing victory in 2019.

Mowatt said: "I’m so excited to be part of the England team. We love Red Dragon too and look forward to doing our best to help achieve a brilliant team result."

Arnold is owned and bred by Carol Legg a notable endurance and flat racing trainer-owner on the circuit.

It is testimony to Legg’s care that Arnold is still competing at this level at the grand age of 17.

Each nation is represented by a team of 12 riders, along with two reserve riders, making for a thrilling and competitive event.

“With such a huge pool of talent to choose from, the selection wasn’t easy. We have every confidence in the squad’s ability to tackle the Welsh hills, particularly with such established combinations to represent us."
