Charlotte Fry shines bright at Roosendaal

British rider Charlotte Fry (21) was on top form in the Young Rider divisions at Roosendaal CDI in the Netherlands last week (31 May – 4 June 2017). The Netherlands-based rider certainly made an impression, achieving second in the Young Rider Team Test, second and third in the Individual, and winning Sunday’s Freestyle.

Partnered by Everdale, van Olst Horses' beautiful eight-year-old Lord Leatherdale x Negro stallion, she scored 73.07% for second in Thursday’s Team Test. Then on to Saturday’s Individual, she took both second and third spots with Dark Legend and Everdale on 71.18% and 70.57% respectively.

Charlotte and Dark Legend were flying by Sunday’s Freestyle, winning the class with 75.02% ahead of Individual test winners Jasmien De Koeyer and Esperanza for the Netherlands. The athletic Dark Legend (Zucchero x Tango), who is co-owned by Charlotte and van Olst Horses, performed an expressive test to his Roy Orbison, Beatles and Abba soundtrack compiled by Camille Peters, showing great confidence for his nine years.
