TOM WOODWARD and Jaeger Master made it a hattrick of international wins when they out-galloped their rivals to land the 113-strong CCI3*-S.
Tom and the British-bred 10-year-old, who is owned by Team Joey, turned in the joint-quickest round across country to add 5.2 time-penalties to their dressage score of 32.7.
“On his day he’s world class, but I have to admit it was a relief to get a good run under our belts as I tipped off him last time out at Burnham Market,” said Tom, 22, who won Nunney CCI2*-S in 2022 and Kelsall Hill CCI3*-S last spring with the gelding.
“He jumped brilliantly here. We were probably quite fortunate to have an early draw and the best of the going, but I never felt like I had to push him out of his rhythm.”
“Joey” does not make his rider’s life easy at a competition.
“He gets bored quickly, so the more work I can give him, the better,” said Tom. “He was very lively all week at Osberton, but went in and performed when it mattered.”

Olympic eventer Tine Magnus has denied ever doping after her Paris ride Dia Van Het Lichterveld Z gave a positive test at the Games. This means the Belgian team, which came fourth, has been disqualified. On 4 September, the FEI said the 10-year-old mare, owned by Kris van Vaerenbergh, tested positive for trazodone, which is listed as an antidepressant on the FEI's prohibited substances list.
