No one could catch William Fox-Pitt in this morning’s eventing dressage competition, but French rider Thiabaut Vallette helped boost his nation into the lead.

Rio de Janeiro—Aug. 6

Reigning eventing world champion Sandra Auffarth started out her second Olympic Games in excellent style, laying down a lovely test on Opgun Louvo to take the lead before the break on the first day of eventing dressage. A mistake in the flying changes kept the German rider from breaking into the 30s, but she sits on a mark of 41.6.

The competitors at the Olympic Games ride a modified version of the FEI eventing four-star test B.

The entire Olympic eventing field has received a nod from the ground jury.
