On day 4 of the 2022 FEI World Championships in Herning, Denmark, three equestrian disciplines were in action. The vaulting competition resumed in the Jyske Bank Boxen arena where the men’s and woman’s vaulting finals concluded with their freestyle classes and the vaulting squads also presented their freestyle routines. Over in the Stutteri Ask Stadium the Grand Prix Special determined the individual medals in dressage. And, the show jumpers opened their championships with the first horse inspection.
At the conclusion of the FEI Herning World Individual Dressage Championships on Monday, August 8, the silver went to Denmark’s Catherine Laudrup-Dufour and Vamos Amigos; gold to Britain’s Charlotte Fry and Glamourdale, and bronze to the Netherlands Dinja van Liere and Hermes.
