Charlotte Dujardin reunited with Tokyo superstar Gio for Christmas competition

Charlotte Dujardin will take back the reins of her double Tokyo medal-winning ride Gio this Christmas as the London International Horse Show dressage entries are confirmed.

Charlotte and 10-year-old “Pumpkin”, who was sold to 16-year-old British rider Annabella Pidgley last month, head a stellar line-up confirmed to compete at the show, formerly held at Olympia but taking place at ExCeL this year.

The team and individual Olympic bronze medallists will take part in the World Cup grand prix early on Thursday, 16 December, and the World Cup freestyle the following evening.

Charlotte and Gio will be joined by their Olympic team mate Lottie Fry, on her under-25 European Championship-winning ride Dark Legend.
