The dressage, first of the three events of the complete contest, ended this Friday, October 19th at the Mondial du Lion. At the age of 6, the American Elisabeth Halliday-Sharp led the way. At the age of 7, on the final note, the German Michael Jung took the lead just ahead of his compatriot Ingrid Klimke.
This 2018 Lion World has a strong feminine accent. And it took a hair that two riders do the race in mind after the training. The American Elisabeth Halliday-Sharp (Cooley Moonshine ), brilliant in her resumption on Thursday, was not worried this Friday. The German Ingrid Klimke ( Asha P ) could have known such happiness but last to enter the track, his compatriot Michael Jung ( Choclat ) came to take first place on the final note, for a small tenth of a point!
French side, Yannick Dirou ( California Horset ) is 7th of 6 years and Thomas Carlile ( Burma ) 8th in 7 years.
This Saturday, cross country, before the show jumping contest on Sunday.
