I don't buy the "perfectionist" legend.
She may be stuborn. But stuborness and perfectionism are two very different things.
A perfectionist person is someone who works and works even minor and uninportant flaws and isn't satisfied until somethings is 100% right.
A perfectionist cares about doing things right more than anything, even if it means slow progress.
A perfectionist wouldn't ride a 1.30 if she doesn't feel that she has mastered 1.20 and if I am not wrong Charlotte has never won a single competition, neither at 1.20, 1.15 or even 1.10 level. Her attitute seems to me the oposite of perfectionism.
My impression is that her current situation is a consequence of vanity, laziness and stuborness.
Vanity or lack of humilty that prevents her from accepting what her real equestrian level is and take part in the right low amateur level competitions she should be riding.
Laziness that prevents her to work with her horses instead of partying and travelling around as much as she does.
Stuborness that makes her unable to accept that she is walking a wrong path and she needs to search another trainer instead of repeating the same mistakes once and again.
If she keeps going this way I give her one more year.
At some point she must get tired of looking like a fool day after day. I don't think there is any other rider in the CSI circuit who gets eliminated every single. She's probably becoming a joke among the other riders.
As soon as her Gucci contract is over (I think it was a 3 years deal) she probably will be saying good bye to competion.
And finally, today she was eliminated with Troy and Carry. I don't know whether she didn't ride Ruebens or if I am just unable to find it:

Frankly, this is beyond embarrasing. Every single horse she rides refuses to jump.
I had never seen anything like that.
