Britain’s Charlotte Dujardin third in Aachen grand prix: ‘I feel so emotional; it’s his biggest show’

Charlotte Dujardin took third place in the grand prix, the Prize of Family Tesch, in Aachen today (Thursday, 18 July).

The British rider was delighted with Sonnar Murray Brown’s Erlentanz, who scored 79.152% for his mistake-free test, with the marks only dropping down a little in the collected walk. Charlotte received a nine from all five judges for her riding.

“I’m ecstatic — I felt so emotional finishing that test. It’s the biggest show the horse has done and my first season with him, but he’s been an absolute pro from day one here and not looked at anything,” said Charlotte. “He’s made my life very easy because he just gets on and does the job for me. It’s a joy to ride a horse like this here.”
