The British dressage team aiming to defend their European dressage Championships title in France this August has been announced, featuring Paris Olympians Carl Hester, Lottie Fry, Becky Moody, and reserve Andrew Gould. Team chef d’equipe Darrell Scaife praised the group’s strong form heading into the competition. Meanwhile, the equestrian world is experiencing a wedding boom, highlighted by the recent marriage of Olympic gold medallist Harry Charles and US showjumper Eve Jobs, alongside numerous other riders and jockeys tying the knot.

In lighter news, a four-year-old part-bred Clydesdale named Hallslake Ragnar The Fearless amusingly locked his owner and her friend inside a tack room before wandering off to graze, leaving them stranded temporarily. These stories, along with ongoing coverage of major equestrian events throughout 2025, are featured by Horse & Hound, which offers subscriptions for in-depth reports and analysis.
