“Aachen has always been a bucket list event for me. It’s one that every riders wants to get to so being asked to go is a bit of a dream come true. Being selected is a great recognition of what an amazing horse Ivar Gooden is. It is also something that is incredible for the owners who put in so much time and effort in supporting us.”
“I very much hope that we can replicate and build on some good form. Charles loves an atmosphere and there is no bigger atmosphere than Aachen so hopefully this will work in our favour.”
“Being listed against such high profile and iconic riders is an even bigger honour. We’ll be looking to stay focused and get on with the job in hand and do the British team, our own team and our sport proud.”
