“Such a Lovely …”: Olympian Charlotte Dujardin Expresses Gratitude to Partners in Heartfelt Note After A Successful Masterclass

Charlotte Dujardin has established herself as a prominent figure in the equestrian dressage scenes. Becoming Britain’s joint most decorated female Olympian, navigating motherhood, and making a comeback with a stellar win, she’s a paragon of excellence. If one name were to tackle the journey well, Dujardin couldn’t have been a better pick. Her repeated show of excellence has placed her well on the pedestal and the 3-time Olympian hasn’t shied away from lending her insights.

For years, Charlotte Dujardin has stepped up to present masterclasses imparting familiarities born through experience. The presentation form has been both through YouTube and exclusively on grounds across nations. This time around, it was a trip all the way to Australia, and the Olympian is as grateful as ever.

A few hours after her masterclass at the Brisbane Queensland Equestrian Centre on Jan 27th, Charlotte Dujardin took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the experience. “Wow Brisbane, what a welcome you gave me!” the Olympian started. The masterclass would mark Charlotte’s only 2024 Asia-Pacific appearance and the audience seemed to grab on to the opportunity presented. “Such a lovely day with some fantastic horses and riders at the Masterclass, and getting to meet so many wonderful people!” she writes, hoping to be back in Australia soon in reciprocation of the audience. Some paraphernalia included flower bouquets, goodies, a painting and a teddy bear adorning her resplendent touch down to the Land Down Under.

The masterclass titled ‘Through the levels’ took the audience across all aspects of dressage from Young Horse to Grand Prix. One of the attendees shared the excellence it held as she wrote, “feeling extremely motivated after the Charlotte Dujardin masterclass!” thankful, ahead of an integral show next week. Charlotte Dujardin, who herself has been on a winning spree for the nation and herself, proves to be just the right guidance.
