The dressage phase for Pony Singles Championship is complete at the 2025 FEI Driving World Championship for Combined Ponies in Le Pin au Haras, France, with Australian Janelle Marshall posting a solid score to sit mid-field.

Partnered with the 15-year-old Canadian-bred Welsh mare Halcyonia Mistletoe, owned by American Jacqueline Kane, Janelle achieved a mark of 55.5 for 19th place from a field of 42. The driving combination is very much in touch with the top end of the competition, led by Switzerland’s Vera Bütikofer and MC Queen on a score of 42.92.

With the influential marathon and cones phases still to come, anything can happen.

Full results from the dressage can be found here.

Friday will see the dressage phase for the Pony Pairs and Four-In-Hand Championships, with the marathon phase for all divisions taking place on Saturday from 9.30am local time, 5.30pm AEST. The marathon begins with the Pony Singles Championship and we wish Janelle and Halcyonia Mistletoe the very best of luck!
