Lottie Fry and her 14-year-old KWPN stallion Glamourdale dominated the opening round of the FEI dressage World Cup Grand Prix at the London International Horse Show, achieving an impressive score of 80.78% to win the 15-strong class. Their harmonious and light performance thrilled the home crowd, with Fry expressing immense satisfaction at how well Glamourdale performed, highlighting their strong connection and his enthusiasm for the event. The all-British podium was completed by Charlotte Dujardin, who placed second with 76.54% on the Westphalian mare Alive and Kicking, and Becky Moody, who finished third with 75.04% aboard Jagerbomb despite a disrupted warm-up.

Charlotte Dujardin’s participation marked her return to high-profile competition following an FEI suspension, and she described the experience as emotional and energizing, especially given her horse’s limited Grand Prix experience. Meanwhile, Becky Moody was pleased with her performance despite last-minute challenges, focusing on the positives and areas to improve for the next day. Overall, the event showcased strong British talent and set an exciting tone for the rest of the competition.
