The second day of the international tournament was both intense and diverse. One arena brought together the speed of show jumping, the technical demands of qualifying classes, the drama of the Six Bar Jump-Off and the refined discipline of dressage.

The riders performed a technically demanding program where steady rhythm, soft control, accurate execution and harmony with the horse were essential.
