This show offered several freestyle classes, which feature dressage performed to music.
In the First Level Freestyle class, Rebecca Adrian and Narhan's Gift were the only entry, riding "against the book." This means that their placing was determined according to a scoring formula, even though they were the only entry. Based on their score, they placed first.
Training Freestyle was another single-entry class, wone by Ilona Parenteau and Anastasia.
In the Pre-Training Freestyle, Ms Goulem finished first, with Ms Pagniello second and Emily Banks-Ng of King third on Majestic General.
In the Starter Freestyle, first place went to Ms Pasianotto, with the only other entry eliminated.
The Pre-Training Pas de Deux class was won by the King team of Nikki Ince on Maximus and Maddy Lang on Delphi. Another King team, composed of Daniella and Julia Santarossa riding Leif Alaric and Balmoral, respectively, came second.
The Starter Pas de Deux class was won by the team of Isabel Brims and Sophie Bile of the Whitchurch Pony Club, riding Mr. Cutie Pants and George, respectively.
There were even two Drill Team classes, each with a single entry, one at the Pre-Training level and one at the Starter level.
The Pre-Training Drill Team class was won by Rising Star, whose team included Kayla Weber on Dad's Fancy Prince, Amy Westlund on JP, Lindsay Weber on Jake's Ty Two K, Chloe Raitt on Ginger, Emily Lindsay on Tarragon and Stacy Bootsma on Reece's Pieces.
