Second place, over 10 points behind him, went to Anna Sandmann (GER), and third to her father Christoph Sandmann (GER). The best Polish athlete was Wiesław Sadowski, who finished seventh. 

In the pairs competition, for the prize of Baborówko Palace, the best one today was Germany’s Torsten Koalick (GER) with CASSANOVA T and CIANITA, followed by Carola Slater-Diener (GER) and Sandro Koalick (GER). The best Polish result – 9th – belonged to Marek Baryłko. 

-We’re already after the dressage, where we had the pleasure to watch the harmony of the teams and the extraordinary lightness of the horses' gait in pairs and four-in-hand classes. Tomorrow the audiences in Baborówko will witness a truly amazing spectacle which is the marathon. We cannot wait for the adrenaline, which the stars of the world of driving will surely deliver! - says Henryk Jan Święcicki, the director of the event.
