Ros Canter
Reigning World Champion and resilient competitor Ros has a strong yard behind (and beneath) her. Lordships Graffalo (Walter) contested his first five-star at Badminton this year, finishing second, while Pencos Crown Jewel (Jasmine) took fourth place at Bicton five-star last season. Ros is based at her family farm at Hallington, Lincs. A competitive yet not overconfident young rider, Ros took a summer job with Judy Bradwell that turned into four years of intense training and a string of successes at World Championship level. In 2019 she took just a month out of the saddle to have her daughter Ziggy, with husband Chris McAleese. She trains with Caroline Moore, Ian Woodhead and Chris Bartle. Pencos Crown Jewel stepped up to five-star at Bicton in 2021, finishing fourth. Lordships Graffalo (aka Walter) is a British-bred SHB(GB) 10-year-old gelding who was bred by Lordships Stud at Writtle College. Ros has produced Walter from a three-year-old. He made his five-star debut in 2022, finishing second at Badminton – the only horse to complete on his dressage score. Ros is only the fifth rider in elite eventing history to win three majors in a single season and the fifth rider in history (and third British woman, following in the footsteps of Lucinda Green and Ginny Elliot) to win both Badminton and the World Championship. New prospect Izilot DHI is a winning contender at 4*, and the future looks bright.
Scott Brash
Olympic show jumper Scott has dedicated his life to his sport. From childhood in Peebles, Scotland, his early competitive talent has led to international notoriety. Hello Sanctos and Scott won their first grand prix together at the 2012 Winter Equestrian Festival in Wellington, Florida. Later that year they earned a Team Gold Medal for Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics, in what is now regarded as an early achievement for this legendary pair. Scott and Hello Sanctos had a near-perfect week at London 2012, jumping clear round after clear round, save for just a single rail down in the Individual Final. Scott finished 5th individually in that, his first Olympics. Scott held the position of Longines FEI World Ranked Number One show jumping rider nearly consecutively since November 2013 and remains in the top 10 ranked riders in the world today. Scott has a string of promising and talented horses, including the now-retired Ursula XII and stallion Hello Vincent, who won the Olympia Grand Prix in London in 2019. With owners Lord and Lady Harris and Lord and Lady Kirkham and a dedicated and hardworking yard and support team behind him, Scott credits his entire string of horses, as well as his dedicated owners, partners, and supporters for his continued success.
