Rotterdam, The Netherlands – August 22, 2019 – Ben Maher (GBR) has moved into to the lead of the standings in pursuit of individual gold yesterday after the second competition during the 2019 Longines FEI European Championships in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The Brit has guided Explosion W, Poden Farms’ 10-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding (Chacco-Blue x Baloubet du Rouet), over all the obstacles throughout their two performances, having only 0.62 penalties attributed to them due to their slower time than the winners of the first competition on Wednesday.
