Charlotte Dujardin has taken the top two places in the Wellington CDI3* grand prix, sponsored by Horse & Country TV.
Charlotte claimed the win at Wellington riding the 10-year-old Apache x Tango gelding Gio, who edged out his more experienced stablemate, Mount St John Freestyle, to score 79.13% and secure his spot at the top of the leaderboard. Meanwhile, a costly mistake kept Freestyle in second.
