No stranger to the winner’s circle, Izzy Beisel (USA) once again led the victory gallop aboard Liz Hutchinson’s Triskel de Kerliven (Mylord Carthago x Herinys L’enchante).

Three entries jumped double-clear rounds, but Beisel entered as the final rider to contest Guilherme Jorge’s (BRA) short course, sliding into the lead.

“My plan was to go really fast from one, two, three, and four, because he has such a big step that I could leave out strides in the long lines. I landed from four and realized we were doing awesome,” Beisel laughed. “I turned back really tight to the oxer, and it all worked out!”

The duo stopped the clock in 39.844 seconds to take home the blue.

Molly Kindness (USA) earned her second red ribbon of the day aboard Jayme Klosterman’s nine-year-old Dutch Warmblood (KWPN) gelding, Liber T (Grand Slam VDL x Nikita), in 42.946 seconds.

Rounding out the podium was Sarah Meier (USA) and her own 11-year-old Selle Français gelding, Karlson HH (Kannan x Corona LS), in 43.491 seconds.

Having racked up wins on her string of horses, this one marked a special victory—it was her first time leading the gallop with the 18-year-old Selle Français gelding.

Beisel felt “so excited” after her first grand prix win on Triskel De Kerliven. “He has seriously been knocking at the door for this with me. He is just so cool. This is actually his last grand prix for a while because we are going to focus on the equitation, since he is doing the big EQ finals with me. It was a perfect way to wrap up our summer.”

“I want to thank Liz for sharing her amazing horse with me. I am so grateful for the opportunity,” Beisel expressed.
