Congratulations to Kirsty Chabert and Classic VI for a fantastic second place finish in the CCI5*-L at Luhmuhlen for Great Britain.
Kirsty and the 13-year-old mare owned by John Johnston and Carole Somers had been in a competitive position after dressage, lying just outside the top ten on their dressage score of 31.1. A superb clear inside the time over the challenging cross country course moved them up the order to fourth, before a clear round in today’s show jumping saw them climb further to take the runner up spot.
