Aachen, Germany - The Defender U.S. Eventing Team has secured team bronze, finishing on a final team total of 113.5, at the conclusion of competition at the 2026 FEI Eventing World Championships in Aachen, Germany. The team saw all three remaining combinations produce stellar clear rounds today in the main stadium at Aachen, ensuring the team's second-consecutive FEI Eventing World Championships podium finish.

Will Coleman (Free Union, Va.) and Diabolo, a 2012 Holsteiner gelding (Diarado x Aljano 2), owned by the Diabolo Group and cared for by Erin Jarboe, finished the championships as the highest-placed U.S. combination individually, taking fourth place overall, adding nothing to their original dressage score of 30.0.
