Becky Moody and Jagerbomb (pictured) were the convincing winners of the inter I gold class on day three of the NAF Five Star Winter Dressage Championships. The reigning seven-year-old national champions scored 74.31% to secure victory over Alice Oppenheimer and Headmore Dionysus, who were second on 72.01%.

“Overall I was pleased with him, but I probably didn’t have as much energy today as I had in the class on Wednesday, so that was probably his weak link,” explained Becky of her home-bred eight-year-old by Dante Weltino, out of Udysee, a Jazz mare that Becky had ready to go grand prix when a field injury retired her to the paddocks. “Maybe I timed my warm-up wrong and five minutes less would have been a good thing.”
