British dressage rider, equestrian, and writer

Charlotte Dujardin is a British dressage rider, equestrian, and writer. Born in 1985, she became a major figure in modern dressage and a multiple World and Olympic champion. She is known for reaching the top level of the sport across several major competitions. In 2014, Dujardin held every available individual elite dressage title at once, including Olympic freestyle, World freestyle and Grand Prix Special, World Cup individual dressage, and European freestyle and Grand Prix Special. She was the first rider to hold that full set simultaneously, a mark of how strongly she dominated the sport in that period.
