Great Britain's para-dressage riders are celebrating after winning 11 medals at the Para European Championships.

GB defended their team title which means they head to next year's Paralympic Games in Rio as world, European and Paralympic champions.

Sophie Christiansen, 27, riding her eight-year-old mare Athene Lindebjerg, won two individual golds in Deauville.

There were two silvers each for Natasha Baker, Sophie Wells, Anne Dunham and Lee Pearson.
