In an action-packed day of dressage at  the World Equestrian Games in Tryon, the British team of Charlotte Dujardin, Emile Faurie, Carl Hester and Spencer Wilton, produced some stunning performances to secure Great Britain the team bronze medal, and with it Olympic qualification for Tokyo 2020.

The maestro Carl Hester, based in Gloucestershire, kicked the day off for Great Britain, taking to the U.S. Trust Arena for the second day of the Helgstrand Dressage Grand Prix competition with Lady Anne Evans, Ann Cory and his own Hawtins Delicato (Del). Producing some stunning work with the ten year-old gelding, the pair were rewarded with a score of 77.283%, a personal best in the Grand Prix with Del.





The team competition was won by Germany who finished with a total of 242.950. The USA finished second with 233.136 just ahead of Great Britain in third with 229.628. 

The Grand Prix Special gets underway tomorrow, which sees the first individual medals awarded.
