Matilda Carnegie & Boccelli second at Mannheim CPEDI3*

Australian para dressage rider Matilda Carnegie and 16-year-old Warmblood gelding Boccelli have placed second in the Team test at the CPEDI3* in Mannheim, Germany, scoring 69.250%.

The class was won by Brazil’s Rodolpho Riskalla riding Don Henrico; the pair scored 70.042%.

“We managed to pull it out of the bag today and were only 0.8% behind the winner. I am absolutely loving the opportunity to compete at all these shows. I really am learning more and more each time I do them,” said Tilda.

Tilda also recently competed at a CPEDI3* in Waregem, Belgium, with Boccelli. The pair scored 69.900% in the Team test, 69.049% in the Individual test and 70.875% in the Freestyle, and already have further scores of over 70% (in Team and Individual tests) on the board from two CPEDI3* events in the UK last year. The combination is certainly showing come great consistency.

Tomorrow they will compete in the Individual test in Mannheim. Good luck Tilda!
