Their performance was highlighted by precise and expressive movements, particularly in collected canter and flying changes, earning them the lead after the dressage phase. Coleman praised Timmy’s professionalism and consistency, noting their strong season results and optimism for the upcoming cross-country phase.
Close behind were Sharon White with Claus 63, scoring 25.2 penalties, and Boyd Martin with Miks Master C, who scored 29.5 penalties. Both pairs delivered impressive tests showcasing strong canter work and harmony. The competition will continue with the cross-country phase on Saturday, followed by the show jumping finale on Sunday, where the overall champion will be decided.
