Rosalind Canter on Lordships Graffalo at Eventing Spring Carnival at Thoresby Park International 2023
Ros Canter had a phenomenal season in 2023 with three major wins and two of these – the FEI European Eventing Championships and Badminton Horse Trials – were on Lordships Graffalo.
Remarkably, the 17h gelding known as ‘Walter’ had just six eventing competition starts in 2023 and his second start of the year, which proved to be a very wet one, was in the CCI4*-S at The Eventing Spring Carnival, Thoresby Park International in early April. They completed in sixth place but their ease on cross country heralded what was to come at Badminton a few weeks’ later and the Europeans in August.
