Wasn't expecting that! Still, well done for the silver. It's still a fine achievement.

I wonder why H&H felt it necessary to word their headline in quite the way they did.
Surely 'Natasha Baker gets gold in dressage, Lee Pearson gets silver' would have been better. It almost sounds like schadenfreude.

Agree with Pearl, the pressure on Lee was pretty intense - Silver is still a massive achievement.

PS - Huge well done Natasha - first Paralympics - wins gold!
