SFN Zenith, one of the most consistent horses throughout the four days of the 2016 Olympic competition, was no doubt also one of the unluckiest, with only 0.02 seconds coming between him and a chance to be part of the individual medal battle.

Despite jumping an immaculate double clear round on the final day of competition, SFN Zenith, expertly piloted by 2000 Olympic gold medalist Jeroen Dubbeldam, picked up a single time fault, preventing them from progressing to the jump-off.

Throughout the week, the World and European Champions maintained a reliably high standard, posting a series of excellent results and proving what an exceptional combination they are on the big stage. This came as no real surprise for the combination that were part of the winning team and won the individual gold medal at the 2014 World Equestrian Games and the 2015 European Championships in Aachen.
