The US rider had led after dressage, but slipped to 4th after cross-country before bouncing back; Canadians won the 4*-S and the 2*-L.

After winning the dressage phase of the CCI4*-L the day before, the American celebrated her birthday with another strong test.

Canadian Olympian Loach and ‘Goldie’ sit solidly in first place with 27.6 pp; the dressage phase continues on Friday at the Quebec venue.
