The final Mars Badminton Horse Trials 2026 results are in! Ros Canter was odds on to win today and the script played out, with the British rider piloting Lordships Graffalo to a clear round, so they became the first combination to win the title three times.
Behind her, it was a more topsy turvy situation, with none of the rest of the top 10 holding the same leaderboard position after showjumping as they occupied before the phase.
Badminton Horse Trials 2026 results: how the final day played out
The day started as it went on – with some changes to the leaderboard. Two horses were withdrawn before the final horse inspection.
Three more horses left the competition at the final trot-up, with two not passed when they were re-presented to the ground jury and one withdrawn from the holding box.
Moving into the afternoon, Tim Price jumped first of the eventual podium finishers, his faultless round on Falco putting pressure on the rest of the top pairs.
Ros Canter was the final rider in to jump and she and Lordships Graffalo put in one of their best rounds – there was little sign of the pressure of the situation in the way they performed to secure the title.
And so the curtain falls on the 2026 Badminton Horse Trials, with the results set down in the history books and the legend of Ros and “Walter” continuing to spiral – what a pair.
