HAGEN, Germany, April 25, 2024–Charlotte Dujardin on Alive and Kicking captured Horses & Dreams CDI3* Grand Prix Special Thursday for a double victory for the British partnership and fourth straight win in their brief career.
Charlotte and the 10-year-old Westfalen mare scored 74.170% for the win a day after the three-time Olympian took the Grand Prix in their first outdoor international competition and three months before dressage starts at the Olympics in Paris. Their previous competition was for a double victory at an indoor show less than two months ago.
The combination were awarded numerous marks of 8 and a pair of 9s for the final centerline piaffe and transition of piaffe and passage.
Carl Hester, Charlotte’s long-time coach, was awarded 72.170% for runner-up as he was in the Grand Prix on En Vogue, his Tokyo Olympic mount. It was the first competition outing for the KWPN gelding now 15 years old, since September.
