As two- and five-star competitors got acclimated with the one-of-a-kind venue at the Greenwich Polo Club for the 2023 edition of CSI Greenwich, Katie Dinan (USA) had a specific goal for Thursday’s CSI5* Two Phase Opener: practice efficient speed.

Knowing she could put full trust in her longtime partner Atika des Hauts Vents, Dinan executed that plan to perfection, taking the win over the 70-strong field that navigated Alan Wade’s (IRL) Power and Speed track.

Dinan and “Atika” crossed the timers of the competition’s second phase in 33.35 seconds. Spencer Smith (USA) finished second with Tulara Colmine (34.20 seconds), followed by Erynn Ballard (CAN) and Libido van’t Hofken (34.33).
