Charlotte Fry (born 11 February 1996) is an Olympic, European Championships and World Championships medal-winning British dressage rider. As of August 2024, Fry has a total of 90 victories and is currently third in the FEI World Dressage Ranking.[1]
Born in Scarborough, England to Laura Fry,[2] who competed at the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, Charlotte started riding at a young age. At age 14, she started training with Olympic Champion Carl Hester, eventually working for him part-time in exchange for lessons.[3] Hester told former Danish Olympian Anne van Olst about Fry, after which Charlotte moved to the Netherlands to train with van Olst. Since 2014 she has lived and worked in Den Hout, Netherlands,[3][2] though she still represents Great Britain in competitions.
