Strong Start in Dressage

William Coleman set the tone early aboard Diabolo, delivering an impressive 26.1 in the dressage phase to establish themselves as leading contenders from the outset.

Staying Competitive in Show Jumping

The show jumping phase featured tight time allowances and technical questions. Coleman and Diabolo answered them with precision, adding just 0.8 time penalties to stay well within striking distance of the top spot.

Clinching the Win on Cross-Country

The pair sealed their victory with a confident, fault-free trip across the cross-country course. Their accuracy, boldness, and stamina proved pivotal, securing a final score of 35.3—an unbeatable mark in a highly competitive field.

A Partnership Built on Consistency

Coleman’s relationship with Diabolo continues to shine. The gelding’s athleticism, reliability, and competitive spirit make them one of the standout duos in the short-format four-star ranks.
