Fry and Glamourdale shine again with another medal following team success.

Charlotte Fry has clinched a bronze medal for Team GB in the individual Grand Prix Freestyle dressage event at the Paris Olympics. Riding her talented stallion Glamourdale, Fry earned an impressive score of 88.971%, securing third place behind German riders Jessica von Bredow-Werndl and Isabell Werth.

The final moments of the competition were tense, with Cathrine Laudrup-Dafour finishing with 88.093%, which confirmed Fry’s spot on the podium. Just two days earlier, Fry and Glamourdale had already earned a bronze in the team event, alongside Carl Hester and Becky Moody, who placed sixth and eighth respectively in the individual standings.

Fry’s performance was accompanied by a carefully selected soundtrack, including God Save The King, Queen’s Another One Bites The Dust, and Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve. Reflecting on the experience, Fry shared: “That was a pretty amazing feeling in there, with the music, the crowd, and the whole arena. It was so incredible to ride.”

She continued, expressing her pride in her horse: “Glamourdale rises to the occasion and he really delivered his best work today. We had a few tiny mistakes, but it’s been a pretty long week for us here. He really gave his all.”

Fry also noted how the music seemed to inspire her horse, saying, “As soon as the music starts, it really gets everyone up and dancing. Glamourdale really dances to it – I think Another One Bites The Dust is his favourite song. He loves it so much; he was just really loving every second.”
