Overall winner of the two star competition was Lucy Wiegersma, who made her long journey from Penzance in Cornwall worthwhile by winning the prestigious Duke of Atholl Challenge Cup and Bowmore Trophy and also the Sir Wattie Bronze for the top British rider. She finished on her excellent dressage score of 49.6 riding River Vally.

In second place, adding just 0.4 of a time fault to his dressage of 51.4 was Australia's Clayton Fredericks with the six-year-old bay gelding, Ben Along Time.

Terry Boon from Leicestershire came third with Foreign Exchange, a seven-year-old chestnut gelding which has been placed every time out this year.

Leading Scottish rider and winner of the Menzies Rosebowl was triple Olympic silver medallist Ian Stark from Selkirk. He was riding Lady Hartington's seven-year-old bay gelding Full Circle and was delighted to finish in seventh place on his dressage score of 59.6.
