Have many other mares won Olympic dressage gold? Does anyone know off-hand? I can't think of any.

Well I’ve just text OH to let him know baby will henceforth be referred to as Pumpkin in honour. Only right really as my name is Charlotte.

I thought Dalera's test was utterly memorable. It is up there for me with Fuego Xii's way back when! What a horse and what a wonderful rider. Bravo, bravo, bravo Charlotte too.

Couldn’t stop smiling on my zoom call whilst watching in the background so had to let everyone in the meeting know

can't think of any, wiki has a list of medal winners with horse names, something for a rainy day to trawl through them and check.

YES CHARLOTTE! Pumpkin is my official favourite, I just want to snuggle him and kiss his brilliant nose.
I sadly missed Jessica's test but hopefully I can find a way to watch it later. It must have been spectacular.

Two mares and a 16hander in the medals is definitely a ‘diversity’ win for horses

Several years back I went to Olympia and watched the dressage and on the whole didn't enjoy it other than a handful of riders. It seemed more like horse wrestling than elegance and beauty but this freestyle has just been full of lovely horses looking in harmony with their riders.

Did anyone else spot how Pumpkin tried to follow CDJ to the podium, then watched her as she walked away? So cute!

the right result today wasn't it? Jessica was spellbinding, Isabell so correct, Charlotte pulling out all the stops on a young horse, brilliant stuff.
