Former Olympic champion Charlotte Dujardin is scheduled to make her come back to the international show arena following her baby break.

Isabella Rose

Dujardin and her long-time partner and fiancé Dean Golding became parents to Isabella Rose at the beginning of March 2023.

Charlotte became the 2012 and 2016 Olympic dressage champion on Valegro. At the 2018 World Equestrian Games she won bronze with Mount St. John Freestyle. In 2021 she claimed individual bronze at the Tokyo Olympics on Gio.

She last competed internationally with Imhotep at the 2022 World Championships in Herning, where she finished 10th in the Kur finals. Her last competition before the baby break was in September at the 2022 British National Championships. 

CDI Windsor

In the press release announcing the starters' field for the invitational CDI in Windsor, Great Britain, Dujardin was not listed but Dressrprod spotted Dujardin's name with the 10-year old KWPN gelding Imhotep on the Master list with the final entries. 

The CDI Windsor takes place on 8 - 11 May 2023. Fourteen combinations in totalled are entered for the big tour; all of them are based in the U.K.
