A fine example of an event horse, he arrived as a 4 year old from Ireland, very full of himself. He has however proved himself worthy of that attitude (most of the time). He has competed in all of the UK age Championships, and also represented Great Britain at the 7yr World Breeding Championships.
In 2017 he was only 1 of 2 horses to complete both Badminton and Burghley with a double clear, finishing 21st at Badminton and highest placed U25 rider, and 14th at Burghley. He and Imogen also lead Team GBR to a silver medal in the French leg of the Nations Cup at Le Pin Au Haras.
2018 has proved to be just as successful for #SirCharles who rose up the leaderboard in both the Grantham Cup (Belton CIC4*) and Badminton CCI5* to finish 11th in both. Following the successful start to the season they were named as long list reserves for Team GBR's World Equestrian Games campaign.
Summer of 2018 also saw a first trip to Aachen as part of Team GBR for the CHIO4*. Charles and Imogen finished 'Best Brit' for a top 25 finish.
Sir Charles rounded his season off at Burghley CCI5* and produced yet another cross-country clear in an impressively quick time, despite coming home with only 3 shoes. An annoying and uncharacteristic 2 poles on the final day dropped them to 19th, but another top 20 finish at a 5* is pretty good 'for a bad day at the office'.
The 2019 season has started with successes for Sir Charles with a win in the Advanced Intermediate at Great Witchingham International in March and 9th in the CCI-S4* at Belton Horse Trials.
Sir Charles and Imogen were placed 8th at Badminton 5* in May and were the highest climber after dressage (57 places) winning the Glentrool trophy for the second year running. Their 5* form continued at Burghley later in the season with a 6th place finish and the unofficial highest climber.
Imogen and Charles were long listed for the European Championships 2019 and the 2020/2021 Olympics.
