Dibowski, fresh from a first and second place in the CCI2* for 7 year old horses at Mondial du Lion two weeks ago, finished the HSBC Eventing season on top of the podium again. A final score of 51.0 was just enough to push the pair up the ladder, despite 10 cross-country penalty points accrued yesterday.
