An exhilarating 12th Royal Windsor win for Boyd Exell
The climax of the International Driving Grand Prix took place with Competition C at Royal Windsor Horse Show on Sunday, the Obstacle Cones. The CAIO4* World Cup Qualifier saw Boyd Exell’s four-in-hand team deliver a thrilling performance to secure the Australian his twelfth win at Royal Windsor Horse Show.
During the drive through the twenty sets of cones, Exell’s hopes were questioned for the first time in the competition, after accumulating three penalties at the last obstacle. This meant the defending champion’s team finished behind both Ijsbrand Chardon and Mareike Harm’s teams in the third round. However, Exell’s team had done enough by winning the Driven Dressage and The Marathon to defend the title, finishing 8.43 points ahead of the Dutch runners up, Chardon and 24 points ahead of Harm’s team, who finished third.
Congratulations Boyd!
