Anna Ross: Charlotte Dujardin has set a new standard for British riders to chase *H&H Plus*

Anna Ross Anna Ross

    • In her latest exclusive H&H column, Anna reflects on Charlotte Dujardin’s challengers, multitasking mares and innovative solutions to no showers at stay away shows...

    BACK in the day, when I competed at the World Young Horse Championships in Verden, they played themed music for every nation. I had music from James Bond each time and I thought how nice and appropriate it was, that is until I noticed that when the Germans rode, their song was always the Bee Gees’ You Win Again.

    In 2012, Britain’s Olympic gold medal changed all that, and dressage fans have since enjoyed watching the success of our nation as medal contenders – and winners. Charlotte Dujardin’s individual successes have set a new standard for British riders, and this is the case at national shows as well as international, with other riders knowing they have to take more risk to give her a run for her money.

    This exclusive column will also be available to read in this Thursday’s Horse & Hound magazine.
