The team dressage at the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky saw a record breaking performance by Theault customer Laura Bechtolsheimer riding Mistral Hojris (pictured) to finish second in the individual scoring behind Edward Gal (Netherlands) and the legendary Moorlands Totilas.  

Strong performances from the rest of the team (Maria Eilberg - Two Sox, Fiona Bigwood - Wie Atlantico & Carl Hester - Liebling II) gained team GB the silver medal behind the gold-medal winning Netherlands; the first ever team medal for Great Britain in a dressage World Championships.  Laura went on to win silver in the individual competition breaking the record for the highest score by a British rider in an international Grand Prix Special with a record 81.71% just 3.96% behind gold medallist Edward Gal & Totilas.  Steffen Peters and Ravel gained an excellent result for a the USA finishing in individual bronze position.

Over the last 2-years Laura and Mistral Hojris (aka Alf) have consistently broken records for scoring by a British combination in international competition and produced two superb performances for a well deserved result. 

Belgian Theault customer Jeroen Devroe riding Apollo Vantlet Vuverhof finished in 32nd place in the individual scoring of the team competition to finish top of the Belgium squad and help the team into 9th place.

The team at Theault would like to extend our congratulations to Laura and everyone else involved.
