Morgan and Fuego 88 knocked down a single ball and had a handful of time faults in the cones phase to finish the competition in third place with a score of 139.91.

Weber (Ocala, Fla.) drove his and Jane Clark’s team of KWPN geldings to third place following the dressage phase with a score of 41.29.
