Olympic gold medallist Ros Canter secured her second victory at the Badminton Horse Trials, riding Lordships Graffalo to triumph in 2023. After finishing second in the dressage and cross-country phases, Canter clinched the title with a clear round in the showjumping, while her competitor Oliver Townend, who led after the earlier events, fell to second place after knocking down a rail.

Canter’s win is particularly poignant as she dedicated it to her late coach and mentor, Caroline Moore, who passed away two months prior. She expressed her gratitude, stating that Moore had been a significant part of her career and a close friend.

This victory marks a significant moment for Canter, as it is her first major achievement since Moore’s passing, highlighting the emotional weight of the win and her desire to honor her mentor’s legacy.
