After a rainy night, the footing for the FEI cross-country drained nicely and held up well throughout the morning. Elisabeth Halliday-Sharp held on to her overnight lead aboard Fernhill By Night and added 4.8 time faults to her double clear show jumping round to take home the win in the CCI4*-S. Not one rider was able to make it through the finish flags within the time allowed, but the top 28 had no jumping penalties.

Doug Payne and Vandiver were second in the CCI4*-S. Payne also finished third in the CCI4*-S aboard Quantum Leap. Photo courtesy of Stable View.
