USA’s Charlotte Jorst and her longtime partner, Kastel’s Nintendo, claimed another win at the Adequan Global Dressage Festival in the FEI grand prix special CDI3*, landing a score of 72.936% that saw the crowd go wild.

“When I came up that last centerline, people were screaming and people were cheering,” said Charlotte. “It was just a really, really fun weekend altogether. It’s so fun to inspire other people. Nintendo was that special. He was just incredible,” she said of the 19-year-old KWPN stallion by Negro x Monaco. “In the test, I kept going and going, and he was always completely in front of my leg. I’ve never had so much energy in Nintendo, ever – in his whole career.”
