DRIVING

Royal Windsor Horse Show is UK's largest outdoor show with International competitions in 4 different equestrian disciplines : Jumping, Dressage, Endurance and Jumping. The show hosts one of the most important driving events in England. Taking place over four days the Land Rover International Driving Grand Prix includes an FEI World Cup Qualifier for the Four-In-Hand class. Over 80 competitors from 18 nations take part in this event with the most popular phase being the Marathon which took place on Saturday 16th May. Despite the heavy rain showers, which didn't weaken most of the day, Reigning World Champion Boyd Exell arrived second in the CAI3*. Six-times winner of the international Four-in-Hand Class at Royal Windsor, Boyd Exell, with two new horses in his team, won the marathon test on Saturday by setting the fastest times in six obstacles. The battle for victory remained exciting until the end but US driver, Chester Weber, finally won after the dressage test showing his outstanding driving skill. Exell drove smoothly and steadily half of the course but in the last part his left wheeler slipped on a tight turn, losing time and a cone down further on dropped him 2.5-penalties behind Weber.

Final results :

1 - Chester Weber (USA)

2 - Boyd Exell (Australia)

3 - Ijsbrand Chardon (Netherlands)
