Two days earlier, Hester’s and his team-mates Laura Bechtolsheimer and Charlotte Dujardin took gold in the team dressage, but despite his horse, Utopia, dancing to Handel’s Zadok the Priest he had to satisfy himself with fourth place.
British rider Charlotte Dujardin won gold; Dutch rider Adelinde Cornelissen took silver, while Britain’s Laura Bechtolsheimer and Mistral Hojris won bronze.
