Lee Pearson and Joanne Eccles’s gold medals today mean that Britain still heads the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games medal table, with eight golds.
Germany is now second, after taking two paradressage golds today, with the Netherlands third.
Britain has one more chance to add another gold tomorrow, the final day of the games, in the paradressage grade IV freestyle. Britain’s Sophie Wells took the gold in that division earlier in the week.
The vaulting team medals are also decided tomorrow, but the British team is eighth at present so unlikely to collect a medal — Germany is the current leader in this contest. The team and individual driving competitions will also be concluded tomorrow, but there are no British competitors. Australian Boyd Exell leads individually overnight, with the Dutch team at the head of affairs.
