Pippa Funnell's bid for a hat-trick of titles at the Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials ended after two falls on the second day. Lying fourth with Viceroy II after the dressage, Funnell fell towards the end of the cross-country course.
She rushed back from hospital to ride Cornerman, who was lying second but he made the same mistake and she retired after jumping three more fences.
William Fox-Pitt and Tamarillo holds a 2.6-penalty lead overall.
