The Sicilian team of the President’s Cup Pony presented by Gallo finished in ninth place. The island team, led by team leader Sara Jasmine Ceola and composed of Lorenzo Agosta (CI Il Ciliegio) on Storm du Molin (8/4), Domenico Toscano (CI Del Castello) on Apollon de Bellefiole (4/0) and the sisters Sofia Anna Bruno (CI Del Castello) on Trosca de la Roche (8/4) and Maddalena Antonietta Bruno (CI Del Castello) on Cindarella D’Haryns (4/0), totaled 20 penalties.
