Carl Hester has been at the top of British dressage for 20 years. He's been National Champion numerous times, ridden at 2 Olympics and had some truly great horses such as Escapado, on whom he finished best of the Brits in Athens. In fact, Carl began his dressage career at the Bechtolsheimer's! A few months ago he gained the ride on Liebling (who was 10th at the European Champs' '07 with
Anna Ross Davies). Lenny, prone to 'electric' moments, excelled himself with Carl on their first outing, winning the Grand Prix at Saumur. We watch the Kur where the pair finished 6th on 72.5% and
Fiona Price catches up with Carl afterwards.
