Ros Canter, who was 12th overnight on the experienced campaigner Allstar B, jumped clear across country, incurring 1.2 cross-country time-faults around the Badminton Horse Trials cross-country, which is an event presented by Mars Equestrian. This was despite the fact they were held for approximately 30 minutes following the horse and rider fall of Nicola Wilson and JL Dublin at the final part of the Mars M combination at fence 26AB and 27.

“He’s absolute legend, isn’t he? And he’s made for tracks like this,” said Ros after her round. “I have to say it’s quite tough out there. The amount of people is mind blowing and you can’t always see where your jump is. In places it rides really like a short format, which doesn’t always suit him as he’s a big horse and not very easy to manoeuvre, but God, you just get to the point of take-off and he just goes and he’s so clever with his legs – he’s just amazing.”
