✨History made at MARS @bhorsetrials ✨
What a moment for British Eventing as @ros_canter_eventing and the incredible Lordships Graffalo deliver a performance for the ages — adding just 2 time penalties in the final phase to finish on 25.7 and secure the 2026 title.
Only months after welcoming her second daughter Seneh, Ros has achieved something truly extraordinary — becoming the first horse and rider combination in history to win Badminton three times. What a woman. What a partnership.
Taking second place, New Zealand’s Tim Price and Falco climbed the leaderboard in style to finish on 33.9, while FEI World Number One @harrymeadeeventing and Annaghmore Valoner claimed third on 35.1 after a competitive final day.
An unforgettable week of world-class sport, showcasing the very best of eventing at the highest level.
Congratulations to all our competitors and their outstanding horses — and a heartfelt thank you to the volunteers, grooms and owners whose dedication makes it all possible 💚

Behind every good round, every rosette, and every social media post, there’s a human being doing their best to navigate the highs and lows, and some times it gets tough.
As Mental Health Awareness Week comes to a close, please remember to be kind to yourself (I know I’m not the best at that some times). You are doing your best, you are loved and you are enough! Sometimes it’s hard to see it, but it’s true!
If you are struggling, there are some fantastic organisations out there that can help. PLEASE don’t suffer in silence - it’s a brave thing to ask for help, but very much worth it - send that message or pick up the phone.
I’ve got a little request….if you feel you can, check in on a friend to #letthemknow you’re thinking of them - you never know how those close to you are truly feeling - they might just need a pick me up, and YOU are it! Send a message, or call them - go on, do it now while you’re thinking about it😊! Let’s spread the love team!!!
You’re awesome…keep up the good work! Sending love to anyone who needs it!

The future of our sport depends on the people behind the scenes.
We caught up with Sian and Saffron at Badminton to learn more about the new British Eventing Training Foundation (BETF) syllabus programme, an exciting initiative designed to support and develop the next generation of Eventing Stewards.
Launching with its first induction day on 25 June, the programme gives anyone interested in becoming a steward the opportunity to learn more about the role and the vital part it plays in keeping the sport running successfully.
A huge amount of work has gone into developing the syllabus, bringing together the knowledge and experience of existing officials to help shape the future of eventing.

✨ What a special moment for Jemima and Cash at the British Eventing LeMieux Grassroots Championships! ✨
Jemima spoke about all the preparation leading up to the Championships and how all the hard work truly paid off. At 23 years young, Cash showed that he knows his job inside out and still absolutely loves what he does.
“It was so good, it was such a lovely course and Cash was just amazing!”
What a brilliant horse, and so lovely to see him out there at this age still doing what he loves most. From the final preparations at home to crossing the finish line at Badminton, it’s been fantastic to follow their journey every step of the way.
A huge well done to Jemima and Cash!
