Great Britain's para-dressage riders have claimed seven medals at the halfway stage of the World Equestrian Games.
Lee Pearson and Sophie Christiansen grabbed individual golds, also combining with Anne Dunham and Jo Pitt for team gold in Kentucky.
Upcoming star Sophie Wells also grabbed her first world title, whilst Dunham and Ricky Balshaw managed silvers in their classes. Emma Sheardown concluded the haul with a bronze ahead of the freestyle events.
Nine-time Paralympic gold medallist Pearson totalled 76.435% in the Grade Ib test, finishing clear of Balshaw (72.870%) and grabbing yet another major title.
"I have to admit to being really nervous and had to tell myself to breathe," Pearson conceded afterwards. "There's a huge expectation on me but I rode my heart out."
Christiansen fronted a British clean sweep in the Grade Ia class, scoring 76.100% and finishing ahead of team-mates Dunham and Sheardown.
"I'm so happy with my horse, he really looked after me and this is my highest ever score," Christiansen stated. "I can't wait for my freestyle as it's my favourite and I'm using music inspired by Sir Paul McCartney as I met him earlier this year."
Rising star Sophie Wells helped begin the medal haul on Wednesday with victory in the Grade IV class. Competing in a class for the least disabled riders, 20-year-old Wells was also part of the able-bodied British Young Rider team at the European Championships in the summer. She scored 71.677% to claim victory by just over 1.5%.
"I was quite pleased with my test. He was a little difficult to warm up but I thought the trot work was actually quite good," Wells indicated.
"He came against me a little bit but softened. When we rode in here on Monday, he was quite distracted by the open corners but today he was much better."
