Olympic rider sets new national eventing dressage record

Olympic eventer Phillip Dutton and Caroline Moran’s Carlchen have set a new US Eventing Association advanced-level dressage record score.

US rider Phillip and the 13-year-old gelding posted a score of 15.0 at Pine Top Advanced Horse Trials in Georgia last Friday (26 February). The pair went on to win their division with a final score of 34.2.

Phillip said: “I’m very proud of Carlchen. In dressage, you always feel that you can do things better; I know there’s still some throughness and softness that I can continue to improve, but he is obviously a huge talent.”
