The duo scored 71.44 per cent to finish behind Danish rider Sune Hansen, who chose the High Profile show to make his British dressage debut.

Riding his own nine-year-old Danish gelding Carso’Ni in the second Intermediate of the competition, Hansen scored 74.03 per cent to take first place.

Hull’s Maisie Scruton was also celebrating as her and Clare Hole’s 14-year-old Dutch-bred stallion Rembrandt DDH claimed the top spot in the hands of Hole in the pony individual test, scoring 68.9 per cent.
