FEI World Equestrian Games 2018
Day two of competition at the FEI World Equestrian Games 2018 Bank of America Jumping Championships in Tryon was as exciting as the first with lots of ups and downs. Germany's Simone Blum and her wonderful DSP Alice was the first pair to post a clear, holding on to the lead until the very end of the class when Lorenzo De Luca, McLain Ward and Peder Fredricson went in front of her.
