Rosalind Canter

With titles including Team and Individual World Champion 2018, Individual European Champion 2023, three European team gold medals and an Olympic team gold from Paris 2024, as well as the 2023 Badminton and Pau 5* titles and the 2024 Burghley title, Ros Canter is truly a force to be reckoned with.

Ros Canter was born on May 1, 1986, in the United Kingdom. From a young age, she showed a keen interest in equestrian sports. By the time she reached adulthood, it was clear that Ros had the skills and determination to pursue a professional career in the sport.

Ros’s career took a major step forward in 2013 with her acquisition of Allstar B, who would go on to play a central role in her success.

In 2017, at the European Championships, Ros and Allstar B secured a team gold medal, with Ros finishing fifth individually. Further victories quickly followed, when, in 2018, she and Allstar B won the World Equestrian Games, taking both individual and team gold medals. This victory was particularly significant, as it marked the first time a British female rider had claimed the individual title at WEG. A third place finish at Badminton Horse Trials rounded off a sparkling year for Ros.

Resuming competing again after the birth of her first child in 2019, Ros attained world number one status, whilst 2020 saw Allstar B win the CCI4*S at Burgham with a record breaking dressage score. 2021 saw Ros travel as reserve to the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympics and she was selected on Allstar B for the European Championships, from which the pair came home with a team gold medal.

A new partner, Lordships Graffalo, made the step up to five-star at Badminton in 2022, finishing in the runner up spot and the only horse to complete on a dressage score.

In what became an incredible year, 2023 saw the pair took the title at the same event with a 15-point margin, the biggest achieved in modern times. In doing so, Ros became 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 legendary footsteps of Lucinda Green and Ginny Elliot) to win both Badminton and the world championship.

In September of that year, Ros became world number one for the first time since 2019, thanks to a double gold win at the European Championships. Ros and Lordships Graffalo were the only combination to reach the optimum time on cross-country day.

2024 became another dazzling year, when Ros achieved a team placing at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning team gold on Lordships Graffalo and then won her first Burghley Horse Trials title only a few weeks later.
