Juggling between motherhood and career lately, the British Dressage Rider 3x Olympian introduces her two most adored beloved companions in her professional and personal life. Sharing a beautiful bond amongst them, she was joyous to announce her acquaintances with both her most-loved companions. While one being her baby daughter and the other, her lovely mare.

Excelling at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the dressage rider felt delighted to share her blissful journey with her two dearest companions on her recent competition in Belgium.

Equestrian highlights the bond between the mare and her daughter

Charlotte Dujardin won the CDI3* Grand Prix Special at a debut competition with ‘Alive and Kicking‘ on the 2nd of March 2024. After the win, ClipMyHorse grabbed her for a conversation. The British Olympic Champion, Charlotte Dujardin, looked with pride at the debutant international performance of the mare.

Being cognizant of her 4-year-old mare, she said, “I was very very proud of her…She is an amazing mare, very very brave like she has never seen an arena like this, never been to a show like this, like traveled away and she has taken everything in her stride like she is incredibly grown up for her age.” While Charlotte Dujardin shares a wonderful bond with ‘Alive and Kicking’, she also introduced her lovely daughter, Isabella, to her fan audience.

Dujardin shared that Isabella shares a close bond with the mare right from the beginning. Being the kindest mare ever, Charlotte Dujardin said, “She’s brilliant with Isabella” and added that Audrey is often touched gently and patted by the young girl, Isabella. Charlotte Dujardin further remarked, “She is the world to me now, and this is what life is all about!”

Interestingly, Alive and Kicking remains one of her most-loved and this is not the first time she has expressed her pride for the mare.

The horse rider and her love for the mare
