Riders and horses mixed with surf dudes and sunbathers on Miami Beach over Easter weekend as the world's best show jumpers rode into town for round two of the 2017 Longines Global Champions Tour,
With more than $300,000 in prize money at stake, there was plenty riding on the performances of the 58 riders and horses taking part.
There was a strong home contingent competing for honors, notably world number 1.
However, two-time Olympic champion Ward was eliminated after his horse Rothchild rolled two early poles.
In the end the competition came down to a battle between two Belgium riders: Nicola Philippaerts and Jérôme Guery.
Philippaerts, riding Chilli Willi, set the benchmark with a speedy clear round of 39.50 seconds before Zorzi on Cornetto K took the lead with a faultless effort, stopping the clock at 37.96 seconds.
But it was Philippaerts' compatriot Guery riding Grand Cru van de Rozenberg who stole in to take the title with the final ride of the competition jumping clear in a time of 37.39 seconds.
