Tim Price was the best New Zealand finisher in ninth place at the Badminton Horse Trials in England.
Price was second on Ringwood Skyboy after the dramatic cross country phase, but he dropped four rails and incurred three time penalties in the showjumping to drop to ninth.
Lucy Jackson had two rails and four time faults to finish 11th, while Sir Mark Todd had a total of 10 penalties but still climbed two spots to 14th.
Australia's Sam Griffith won the event from Britons Oliver Townend and Harry Meade.
