Lottie Fry will now compete her world champion ride, Glamourdale, in the World Cup qualifier at the London International Horse Show (LIHS) next week.
Netherlands-based Lottie was originally entered for LIHS with Everdale, the stallion she won medals with at the Tokyo Olympics and European championships in 2021. However, she has decided instead to bring Glamourdale to compete at London’s ExCeL centre – and it will be the 11-year-old stallion’s first time competing on British soil.
“Glammy has been going so well at home and Everdale is also going to compete at the Mechelen World Cup qualifier very soon after London,” Lottie told H&H, explaining the reasoning behind the change.
“I think the British public would love to see Glamourdale. This will be his first time ever in Britain.”
This will be Lottie’s third appearance at the LIHS; she finished third behind Charlotte Dujardin and Carl Hester in 2019 riding Everdale, the last year the show was held at Olympia, before moving to the ExCeL. She also finished second behind Charlotte in 2021 on Dark Legend.
Lottie and Glamourdale will be the hot favourites to take the World Cup qualifier this year, but are not the only medallists from Herning who will be in action. Gareth Hughes is set to bring his world silver medallist Classic Briolinca, who also finished fifth in the freestyle at the World Championships.
