One of Britain’s most decorated female equestrians, Charlotte Dujardin continues to outshine her counterparts. While she is set for the grand event in Paris, she is equally devoted to other equestrian chores. Besides being a writer, the 38-year-old is highly active in social circles, and more than that, ever ready to share her learnings with aspiring riders.
In 2016, Dujardin posted world record scores with Valegro in all three Grand Prix dressage tests. 8 years after that, the 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist continues to train horses to the Grand Prix level, and the latest place to add could be Scotland.
Charlotte Dujardin to grace Scottish equestrian arenas
In the latest update on her Facebook handle, Charlotte Dujardin announced the continuation of her equestrian masterclass. Named Young Horse to Grand Prix, the program aims to develop horses of varying ages to Grand Prix levels. “Scotland Calling! As most of you know, I will be heading to Scotland on 16th and 17th March for a masterclass – Young Horse to Grand Prix at The Scottish National Equestrian Centre. Sunday tickets are still available and I want to thank everyone for your understanding and patience after the reschedule. Hopefully see some of you then – link in comments”, an excited Dujardin wrote.
As is evident, the masterclass was scheduled for a different date but 16th and 17th March will be the days to look out for Scottish fans now. While she shares her learnings with dressage riders, Dujardin is busy analyzing horses and their techniques, and in between all this, horse racing enthusiasts get to witness the action from stands. Later this month, the double gold medalist from the 2012 London Olympics is also scheduled for the same masterclass in Queensland Australia.
The illustrious career of British dressage queen
