    In the seven-year-old category, Nicolas Touzaint, who was leading in dressage and cross-country, lost the lead with his Selle Francais-registered Cornet Obolensky son Gauguin du Busson as a result of two poles and 8 faults, and ended up in seventh place overall. The British Thomas Carlile and his French Anglo Arabian mare, Golden de Beliard (by Upsilon x Jalienny, Breeder S.C.E.A. De Beliard), emerged as the shining winners and new world champions, with 28.3 penalties. The pair were the 6 year old World Champions in 2022.

Ecurie Brillant) with 28.7 penalties.



    In the six-year-old category the leading pair after dressage and cross-country, the Millie Summerland (GBR) and her KWPN gelding Mojo, had to give up all title dreams after two poles and 8 faults in the show jumping, ending in 9th place. This cleared the way for Izzy Taylor (GBR), who was in second place after the cross-country, and her Cevin Z-Kuwait Beach XX daughter Barrington Alice (aka Allercombe Alice), registered with the Sport Horse Breeding Great Britain (SHBGB) (Breeder Susan Holroyd). They ended on 26.9 penalties.
