GAL AND TOTILAS MAKE IT A GOLDEN HAT-TRICK ON A NIGHT TO REMEMBER - by Louise Parkes

The brightest stars in the sport of dressage sparkled again tonight as The Netherlands' Edward Gal and the amazing black stallion Moorlands Totilas claimed their third gold medal of the week in the Grand Prix Freestyle at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ in Kentucky, USA.  On Tuesday they joined their Dutch counterparts to scoop the team title, on Wednesday they topped the Grand Prix Special and tonight they made it a hat-trick when taking centre-stage on the Freestyle podium.  They've broken so many records over the last year that another came as no surprise -  they are now the first partnership ever to win three World titles at a single Championship, but the Dutch duo didn't steal all the limelight on this extraordinary evening.
