Mark Todd (NZL), the dual Olympic Champion who came out of an 8-year retirement in 2008, makes his first return to the Chatsworth International Horse Trials (GBR) since 2000.

He will lend star quality to the 4th leg of the 2009 HSBC FEI World Cup™ Eventing competition, a class which has already attracted a star-studded entry of 45 horses from six nations, as British-based riders scramble to get on the points leaderboard.

Todd, 51, rides the grey NZB Land Vision, a purchase this spring from Oliver Townend (GBR), newly crowned winner of The Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials and the leader of the HSBC FEI Classics™. Todd’s partnership with NZB Land Vision has already gelled, the pair having won a national advanced class three weeks ago.
