RIDER LOTTIE FRY

“EVERDALE loves to work and is one of the most trainable horses I know. He would happily work all day and he never says no. He also has this incredible power but at the same time he is so light to ride, and you can feel his elegance – he is like a machine underneath you.

“I’m so excited about his future because he is good at everything. I’ll always remember riding his first inter II and even back then he scored almost nothing below a 7.5. Now, at grand Prix, he has had a few nines and they tend to be mostly for the piaffe and passage, and his changes.
