Denmark’s Tobias Thorning Joergensen rode the test of his life in front of an ecstatic home crowd to set a new World Para Dressage Championship and grade III record for his flawless freestyle performance when scoring an incredible 86.5% in the Orifarm Healthcare FEI World Para Dressage Championships results.

Riding the lovely grey mare Jolene Hill, the individual gold medallist’s test oozed suppleness, connection and a silky-smooth rhythm which left him a clear 10% in front at the top of the leader board.
