The second Saturday night Grand Prix of the 2024 Summer Series drew crowds to the World Equestrian Center Grand Arena in Ocala, Florida, where 32 top horse-and-rider combinations competed for victory in the $125,000 Lugano Diamonds Grand Prix CSI3*. Thirteen different countries were represented in Saturday night’s field, but it was Canada’s Erynn Ballard who emerged victorious aboard Wight Show Stables LLC’s Coconet (Colman x Cornet’s Stern).

FEI Level IV course designer Guilherme Jorge (BRA) crafted a challenging track, with only seven pairs managing a clear first round.

Alberto Michan (ISR) was the first to tackle the short course aboard his own 10-year-old KWPN gelding, Joint De Canabis Van De Doornhoeve (Canabis Z x Cardento 933), setting the pace with a quick 42.10 seconds.
