<p>“Charlotte has very kindly paid me back – I gave her Valegro to ride, and now she’s given me Vogue,” Carl told <em>H&amp;H</em>.</p>
<p>“He gives me the feeling of a very powerful top horse and I can’t wait to get my teeth stuck into working with him. He’s definitely a potential prospect for Tokyo, alongside Hawtins Delicato.”</p>

<p>The Jazz x Contango gelding is known for being extremely hot – Charlotte described him as being “petrified of everything and completely wild” when she first bought him from Sandra Biddlecombe as a project.</p>
<p>But despite being lightly competed to date, Vogue has had some notable results, finishing second to Charlotte’s world bronze medallist Mount St John Freestyle in the national prix st georges and inter I championships in 2017, and also claiming the runner-up spot behind Carl’s team horse Hawtins Delicato at the Liverpool International Horse show later that same year.</p>
<p>Vogue and Charlotte made their grand prix debut in 2018, and scored 81.4% in just their second test at the level, on what was the horse’s last outing, in February 2019.</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-3" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<p>“He came out last year and did a grand prix but because he’s so hot and we were so busy with the others, he ended up having an easy year and not really competing,” explained Carl.</p>
<div class="injection"></div>
<p>“He always had huge talent for grand prix – he just needed to go out to shows and see things. He’s now matured a lot, and he knows his way around the grand prix test. He just needs confidence now.</p>
<div class="ad-container ad-container--mobile"><div id="post-inline-4" class="ipc-advert"></div></div>
<p>“I’ve always loved Vogue and enjoyed riding him,” added Carl. “He actually reminds me a lot of riding Nip Tuck, not in their bodies as they’re very different in that respect, but they give the same feeling – they are both very sensitive.”</p>
