FEI CCI-S 4*/3*/2*
After a rainy night, the footing for FEI cross-country drained nicely and held up well throughout the morning. Elisabeth Halliday-Sharp held on to her overnight lead and added 4.8 time faults to her double clear show jumping round. Not one rider was able to make it through the finish flags within the time allowed, but the top 28 had no jumping penalties.
