CARL HESTER MBE OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST

WELCOME TO CARL’S WEBSITE

A fabulous start to 2013 with two new horses making their Grand Prix Debut. Dances with Wolves owned by Aram Gregory and Fine Time owned by Gemma Green, have excelled in first Grand Prix competitions at first international show of the year. So after an amazing 2012 we look forward again, an exciting challenge ahead.

I am honoured to have been awarded an MBE for taking part in the sport I love.

To win team gold at the London 2012 Olympics is a dream come true. Standing on the podium was the proudest moment of my life. I am so happy to have shared this team win with Charlotte and Laura who both gave great performances to secure the gold. What a great day for dressage. Seeing the sea of flags and watching the union flag raised and hearing all the cheers and the national anthem was very emotional. Charlotte winning individual gold was truly amazing, she has made me and the nation very proud.

The team does not stop with us, there are so many people who have helped us achieve this through their support, dedication and hard work and my thanks and gratitude extends to every one of them.
