They then added just 0.4 time penalties to their tally in the cross-country and went clear in the showjumping with 0.8 time penalties to finish on 24.2.
Brit Laura Collett aboard London 52 won with her dressage score of 21.3.
Jonelle Price placed 12th aboard Grovine de Reve, with Tim Price 13th on Xavier Faer and 14th on Ringwood Sky Boy.

The Mercedes driver, who took the chequered flag a huge 25.592 seconds ahead of second-placed team mate Valtteri Bottas, had equalled Ferrari great Michael Schumacher's record 91 wins at the previous race at the Nuerburgring.
Victory, along with a bonus point for fastest lap, stretched the Briton's championship lead over Bottas to 77 points with five races remaining.
"You are re-writing the history books," Mercedes told Hamilton over the team radio, with team boss Toto Wolff adding: "Lewis, 92. 92."
"I owe it all to these guys here and back at the factory," said Hamilton.
"It's just been such a privilege working with them," added the Briton.
