Some moments in sport stay with you forever — and last week was one of them. Our long‑term sponsored rider delivered a performance that can only be described as extraordinary, taking home not one but two National Championship titles with her phenomenal partner super star dressage horse, Opera.

The week began with a brilliant win in the Petplan PSG Silver Championship, setting the tone for what was to come. Then, on Saturday, the pair danced their way to victory once again, securing the Nupafeed Advanced Medium Freestyle Championship with an impressive 71.34%. A double‑champion week, achieved with style, harmony, and the unmistakable bond that has always defined this partnership.

Carmen comments, “Thank you goes to Pro-Equine Ltd and Martine’s equine services with Hofmag for all of their support in keeping Opera feeling and looking fabulous. Pro-Equine have been supporting me now for 15+ years, and alongside the Hofmag are both an integral part of our team”.

For our rider, Opera is far more than a competition horse. He is, in her own words, “unbelievably special” — a once‑in‑a‑lifetime dancing partner who gives his whole heart every time he steps into the arena.

At Pro‑Equine, we couldn’t be prouder. We have supported Carmen for over 15 years, watching her dressage career grow, develop, and achieve milestone after milestone. To see them reach this level — and to know we’ve played a small part in keeping Opera feeling and looking his best — is incredibly special to us.

This championship week is a testament to dedication, horsemanship, and the power of a true partnership. We are honoured to stand behind our rider and Opera, and we look forward to many more unforgettable moments with them.
