Charlotte and her family first found “Ella” in the fall of 2020 after seeing a video of her and immediately knew she would be special. However, due to COVID-19’s travel restrictions that year, it would be a few more months before Charlotte could fly to Europe to try the mare. 

After finally getting to try her in person, Ella joined the team officially in 2020 at the age of eight. Immediately, Charlotte and Ella clicked - with Ella’s big, scopey, brave attitude she was the perfect horse to move up with. Ella has taken Charlotte through a number of ‘firsts’ - including her first Nations Cup, first 3*, 4*, and 5* Grand Prix.
