The judges liked the team's performance and it was enough for third place behind Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Isabell Werth, the Germans who emphatically dominated in the last major championships.
Reigning Olympic and European Championship champion von Bredow-Werndl climbed over 90 percent (90,555) on Dalera and won by a wide margin ahead of Werths and Qantaz 84,870.
Kittel just kept out of the British Charlotte Fry.
The qualifier was the sixth and final before the final.
