On the day of the “dancing horses”, The Netherlands’ Sanne Voets became the first ever non-British rider to win three gold medals in one major international championship before teammate Rixt van der Horst put the icing on the Dutch cake by doing exactly the same.

Competing in the Grade V competition, and less than two years out from the Tokyo Paralympic Games, Japan’s Tomoko Nakamura and Djazz F scored 73.540% to take a surprise bronze.
