RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, April 17, 2024–Charlotte “Lottie” Fry and her Tokyo Olympic partner Everdale won the World Cup Final Grand Prix Wednesday on a day when many of the 17 horses and riders in the starting lineup produced sub-par performances in the first dressage world championship in the Middle East.

Lottie and the 15-year-old KWPN stallion were awarded 75.388% and first place from all seven judges that will give the British team rider confidence going into the Freestyle Friday to decide the title.

The Swedish combination of Patrik Kittel and the 12-year-old gelding Touchdown was runner-up 73.292%, the lowest Grand Prix mark for the pair in more than a year.

Denmark’s Nanna Skodborg Merrald and the 16-year-old stallion Blue Hors Don Olymbrio turned in their lowest result, 72.904%, in four years for third.

Isabell Werth, a five-time champion and the most decorated Olympic equestrian in history, incurred some uncharacteristic mistakes to place fourth on 72.236%.

Kevin Kohmann on Duenensee, the 15-year-old Hanoverian gelding owned by Diamante Farms of Wellington, Florida was the highest placed American duo on 69.332% for 10th.

Anna Marek of the Ocala, Florida area on Fayvel, 14-year-old KWPN gelding, placed 13th on 68.354%.

Ben Ebeling of Wellington on Indeed, 16-year-old mare, was 16th on 65.140%.
