    • Anna Ross on sport returning, new concepts and hairy moments in the ring

    IT was great to watch the most exciting weekend of dressage in a long time. With so many shows in the UK having been cancelled, our riders who are in Olympic contention attended the Hagen CDI4* – one of the biggest international shows in the calendar – and Opglabbeek CDI3* in Belgium.

    Charlotte Dujardin dominated in Hagen with Gio and Mount St John Freestyle, while a new grand prix superstar emerged in stallion Glamourdale, beautifully ridden by Lottie Fry for 76% in their first-ever grand prix special.

    The new concept of the special to music – supplied by the rider and played during the test but unjudged – is a terrific one. Lottie’s Robbie Williams music set the scene for this powerful stallion, and made their performance even more fun to watch.
