Gareth Hughes: Technique, Horsemanship and riding the Grand Prix

Team GB dressage rider Gareth Hughes has won over 60 national and international titles including team silver in 2014 and 2022 WEG and 2021 European Dressage Championships and was the team reserve for Tokyo Olympics. We talk about his current superstar Classic Briolinca and the success at Herning. Why did it all work out so well and how do you turn a team of champions into a champion team? We all know how enthusiastic the crowd was and Gareth gives us his perspective from the arena. What makes Lottie Fry and Charlotte so good? The importance of technique and what that actually means. Picking the right trainers. Training with Carl, the “Carl Legacy” and what is good riding? Coping with championships when you first get on a team. The combinations that have changed the sport in the modern era, how the sport has evolved and the importance of sport today. Coping when Olympic dreams are shattered. Being the fourth rider in the new Olympic format. How his motivations have changed and what the future holds.…..and vaulting! www.hughesdressage.com
