‘Don’t be a pussy!’: watch Charlotte Dujardin and Rory Gilsenan go hedge-hopping

Double Olympic gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin and top showing rider Rory Gilsenan took some time off from their respective sports last week to enjoy a day riding together.

The two friends spent Wednesday (28 August) popping showjumps at Rory’s Oxfordshire yard, riding through fields and jumping some impressive hedges at Tim Price’s neighbouring farm.

Charlotte had the honour of riding 10-year-0ld Irish sport horse gelding Atlantic Slim, with whom working hunter specialist Rory claimed the Cuddy Working Hunter of the Year title at the Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) in 2018. Rory himself piloted Claudine O’Connor’s heavyweight hunter Vision Impossible, who was seventh at HOYS last year with his owner.
