Australian Olympian Kristy Oatley has won the CDI4* Grand Prix and Freestyle at PfingstTurnier Wiesbaden (Germany) with her long-time partner Du Soleil.

Kristy and her 18-year-old Hanoverian gelding scored 71.848% in the Grand Prix.

The pair, who together have competed at the 2016 Olympics, 2017 World Cup Final and the 2018 World Equestrian Games, also won the Freestyle with 79.430% — which was just shy of their Freestyle PB score of 79.840%.
