Young rider Helena Liholt Gulli persevered in her division and grabbed the gold and title aboard the 11-year old Norwegian warmblood Aathens Amon (by Tobajo Picez x Falleur). The pair scored 68.860%, 69.298% and 74.000%.

In the senior division for Grand Prix riders Louise Almlund Løkken and the 10-year old Danish warmblood Mr. Gold G (by Milan x Lobster) reigned supreme and won all three rounds for the gold.
