she seems to be a smart girl
I liked the interview too, with Char and Stella. Cute question, but I doubt that Charlotte is going to completely stop with the fur. Besides, her two bffs were at an event recently wearing entire animals on their shoulders and it's not even cold yet. Well, maybe it was wherever they were.
Her interview with Stella McCartney for Above was good. I found the questions a bit redundant but I liked the direction it took. I had to chuckle when she asked if it was OK to use a fur coat if it was owned by your grandmother. I'm sure she meant in general but also makes me wonder if she's debated about using her own grandma's fur coats and maybe feeling guilty about even considering it.
Rdujour is a great site. The layout, maintenance, and content are all very engaging.
Going back a little to August and the charity gala in Valkenswaard, I took a picture of the picture on my phone and here is the result: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b120/Chewster05/monaco/gctmiracleafricacharitygala.jpg

G is not a young horse anymore, in fact. At least not this year with the KWPN since it was the turn to the E this spring.
GI Joe is a gelding. I think, I can't say it exactly because I'm not precisily up to date of the alphabetics. But I think the horses of the year G are nearing or already are at the age of 10 and older.How old is GI Joe? Is he a stallion or gelding? If he's a stallion, that could be part of her troubles. She has never jumped with a stallion before. They are difficult to work with, right? GI Joe is majestic but he might be better for a more experienced rider like Thierry Rozier, who jumps with him also. I know Charlotte has a lot of experience, but she has that long hiatus when she didn't ride at all, so in a way she could be like starting anew.

When you're not jumping professionally it also takes time for a young horse to jump 1.20. And she has started out with Gi Joe at that height so no, it's not a fresh horse anymore.
I think stallions are easier to work with than mares, for example. Stallions are more easy-going than mares. And if Gi Joe isn't producing newcomers it isn't a stallion anymore. It's just not of a use and only a risk when he is not approved by the ascociation. And if you look at his muscles and especially the neck you can see it's a gelding. Stallions have a bigger neck and are more muscles at the front- and the back

She looks great! I wonder why they say "former" trainer? It seems he's still her trainer in competition pictures - he's always there, walking the course w/her, etc.
I thought Thierry was her trainer? Isn't Michel his brother...or his dad or something?
