French Olympic medallist Astier Nicolas and Hitchqote Du Coudray have claimed the lead in the dressage standings at the Agria Blenheim Horse Trials. The pair soared to the top spot in the GFS Saddles CCI4*-S young horse championship.

During their performance, Astier and the nine-year-old horse achieved a perfect score of 10. This impressive result placed them at the forefront of the highly competitive field.

Astier and his horse, nicknamed “Alfred” by friends as a play on the spelling of Hitchcock which inspired his official name, were among the final competitors to perform in this massive kingmaker class.
