Olympic gold medallist Ros Canter won the Luhmuhlen Horse Trials to secure a second five-star win in six weeks.
Canter rode Izilot DHI to victory in Germany to claim her fourth five-star level win.
The former world champion was second after the dressage and cross country phases behind Olympic team-mate Laura Collett, who won the 2023 event.
But Collett, last out riding London 52, knocked down a rail in the showjumping finale to slip to third overall.
"It's hard to get my head around it to be honest. I'm very proud of it because it's not always about riding, it's confidence and I've had to work very hard at that," said Canter.
The reigning European champion was part of the British eventing team to win gold at the Paris Olympics last summer and won the prestigious Badminton Horse Trials for a second time in May.
Canter added: "The dream was always there because I loved watching old videos of Badminton and Burghley but I didn't think it would ever be me."
The 39-year-old also paid tribute to her coach and mentor Caroline Moore, who died in March.
"I think Caroline would have found this very special."
