Details about Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games Normandy
The Team competition always looked to be Germany's to take on paper but when reigning individual Champion Michael Jung could only ride his 3rd string horse, the lovely mare Fischerrocana, the other Nations must have hoped the Champion might not be as powerful and had left the door slightly ajar after cross country. However, immaculate performances in the final show jumping by the Germans confirmed their World No 1 team status and also resulted in Sandra Auffarth pipping team mate Michael Jung for the individual Gold Medal. Britain's William Fox-Pitt led the British challenge on the stallion Chilli Morning and was the overnight leader after cross country but could not jump the necessary clear to win his first World title although held onto bronze.
