British Dressage Team Announced
1st August 2019
WEG medallists spearhead strong British dressage squad.
The British Equestrian Federation has today, 1 August 2019, announced the UK Sport National Lottery funded dressage squad which will compete at the FEI Longines European Championships in Rotterdam, Holland (21–25 August 2019).
Team GBR stalwarts Charlotte Dujardin and Carl Hester will be looking to build on the team and individual bronze medals they earned in Tryon at last year’s World Equestrian Games, while Gareth Hughes and Charlotte (Lottie) Fry are capitalising on some successful Nations Cups results this season.
This will be Lottie’s first senior championships, although she and Dark Legend achieved Individual silver and Freestyle gold at the European Under 25 Championships in 2018.
In alphabetical order, the selected squad has been named by British Dressage selectors as:
• Charlotte Dujardin CBE with Emma and Jill Blundell’s Mount St John Freestyle (Grooms – Alan Davies and Lucy Scudamore)
• Charlotte Fry with van Olst Horses and her own Dark Legend (Groom – Claire James)
• Carl Hester MBE with Lady Anne Evans, Ann Cory and his own Hawtins Delicato (Grooms – Alan Davies and Lucy Scudamore)
• Gareth Hughes with Rebecca Hughes, Julia Hornig and his own Classic Briolinca (Groom – Steph Sharples)
Charlotte Dujardin has also been selected with a direct reserve horse, Sonnar Murray-Brown’s Erlentanz.
In addition, two reserve combinations have been selected:
First reserve: Richard Davison with Gwendolyn Meyer and his own Bubblingh
Second reserve: Lara Butler with Wilfred and Ursula Bechtolsheimer’s Rubin Al Asad
Performance Manager Caroline Griffith said
I am absolutely thrilled to be working with such a fantastic team this year. All the combinations have had phenomenal results in preparation including several personal bests and scores which evidence they are amongst the best in the world.
The selectors have included young horses, older horses, young riders and more experienced riders, combined it has all the ingredients of an amazing recipe for success. I feel honoured and privileged to be working with the riders, owners and grooms all of whom play such a major part in making this happen and I have absolutely no doubt that we head to the Championships excited by the opportunity to show our capabilities to the full.
The riders have asked me to thank everyone for their support, they are keen now to get on with the job and make Team GBR proud.

Jason Brautigam, British Dressage Chief Executive, commented; “It’s great to have a new addition to the team in Lottie Fry and, with the experience of Carl, Charlotte and Gareth, it makes for a very strong squad. Lottie has made such a strong impression in the last 12 months since winning gold at the European U25 Championships, while Carl and Charlotte obviously impressed us all with their exciting young horses last year at the World Equestrian Games.
All four riders can use Rotterdam as an important stepping stone towards the Olympics in 2020, so hopefully Team GBR will be able to make a strong statement of intent a year out from Tokyo.”
The British senior teams are supported by the BEF’s UK Sport National Lottery-funded World Class Programme.
