Actually I competed through my sophomore year in college. If you time manage well it can be done under certain circumstances. Also in the US there is the Intercollegiate Horse Show circuit which if you have limited time to ride outside of school can keep you in the saddle. I did that as well - it also looks good on the job resume. Charlotte is lucky to be able to afford a groom and a trainer to keep her horses going when she can't get there, so it possible that she is riding but not enough to compete. I have known riders in the US who can afford it, to do just that. They ride when their schedule allows during the school year and then they are ready for the summer show circuit. It's possible she has moved on from the sport.
I know Caroline still like to ride but doesn't compete. Hopefully she will be there to hand out the trophies.
