With the support of her team, including new trainer Craig Schmersal, and the Schulmans’ unwavering belief in her, Charlotte’s comeback was only a matter of time.

The pressure was on, but Charlotte showed everyone what she was made of. Despite her injury, she pulled out all the stops, scoring a 218 and pushing her LTE over $41k. She proved that, no matter the odds, she was born to win.

She’s one special mare, and as time goes on, there’s no doubt she’ll continue to make an impact, both in the arena and through the champions she’ll produce. With Charlotte, the best is yet to come.
