Spencer Wilton and Dolendo, 2007 British Dressage
Champions
September 17, 2007
Last year’s runners-up, Spencer Wilton and Dolendo
were crowned the British national champions, having
gained the highest combined scores in the Grand
Prix and Grand Prix freestyle during the 2007 Blue
Waters National Dressage Championships at Stoneleigh
Park, Warwickshire, 13-16 September.
In the absence of all British championship team members,
Spencer was able to ride Ann Cory's and Carl Hester’s
13-year-old 17.1hh Donnerhall gelding to victory in
the grand prix
and took the runner-up slot in the grand prix freestyle
behind Maria Eilberg and Two Sox.
Last year, Spencer and Dolendo appeared on the international
stage with much success and were working towards being
selected for the British team for this year’s
European Championships. However, Dolendo was out of
action for the first half of the season and only returned
to the competition arena at Hartpury CDI in mid-July,
regaining last year’s form to win the grand prix
special at Hickstead CDI at the end of July.
Spencer, who is leaving for France with Dolendo on
Tuesday to compete in Saumur CDI next weekend, said: “We
won the freestyle class here last year, but he has
not done a freestyle test since then. What I’m
most pleased about is that he is slowly improving and
there is more to come. It’s not quite sunk in
that we’ve won. Without Carl and his support,
we would not be here now.”
