After the eventers, the four-in-hand drivers took to the cross-country course at the Aachen Soers in the Prize of schwartz Group. The victory went to Belgium. Ijsbrand Chardon takes the lead in the overall classification of the Prize of the Richard Talbot Family.

The Belgian driver, Glenn Geerts, had the fastest time in the Marathon of the schwartz Group today, followed by Christoph Sandmann from Germany. Geerts was the penultimate starter in the Marathon.
Ijsbrand Chardon, the veteran driver from the Netherlands, had worked his way forward into second place to defend his title in the Prize of the Richard Talbot Family. He had been in third placed after the dressage. Boyd Exell from Australia won the dressage. However, after only coming seventh today, he slid down in the rankings behind his eternal rival, Chardon. Christoph Sandmann finished third. Mareike Harm, who was second after the dressage, drove into twelfth place today, which puts her in seventh place in the interim results.
