Olympic silver medallist Fiona Bigwood and Hawtins Delicato took another step towards cementing their partnership by following up grand prix victory with a win in the NAF Five Star Hartpury CDI grand prix special as well.
Fiona, who bought the World Equestrian Games team bronze medallist from Carl Hester in 2020, were second-last to go in the class and scored 72.96% – the pair’s best special score to date — to push Becky Moody and Famke PF into the runner-up slot.
