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.
