Charlotte Dujardin has won six Olympic medals in total

Charlotte Dujardin led home a Great Britain one-two-three in the Dressage World Cup freestyle at the London International Horse Show.

The three-time Olympic champion, who was absent from the event in 2022 because she was pregnant, scored 89.465% on Imhotep to win.

Double world champion and last year's winner Charlotte Fry claimed silver on Everdale with 85.040%.

Becky Moody earned bronze with 83.675% on Jagerbomb.

"It was so sad to miss last year but obviously I was pregnant so there was nothing I could do," said Dujardin.

"To be back this year makes me so proud to be British, to be able to ride here in front of a home crowd.

"I am absolutely over the moon with this horse. This is his first indoor show and I couldn't ask for any more."

Dujardin gave birth to her daughter Isabella in March and, in September led Britain to team gold at the European Dressage Championships, their first team victory since the London 2012 Olympics.

She added: "It's so emotional to think what I've achieved this year because I really didn't think I'd be riding.

"It's been fantastic, the best year ever."

The London International Horse Show runs until Monday.
