Reigning European Champion Ros Canter will not be part of the British team at the Agria FEI Championships at Blenheim Palace in September despite being on top form.
Ros and her husband Chris McAleese have announced on social media that they are expecting another child in early 2026, joining their six-year-old daughter Ziggy.
Ros, who won the CCI4*-S at Hartpury International Horse Trials last weekend, was on the British longlist for the FEI European Eventing Championships at Blenheim Palace with three horses, Izilot DHI, Lordships Graffalo and MHS Seventeen. She looked set to strongly defend her title on home soil but will now be sitting this one out, saying that “Whilst I'll be missing the upcoming European Championship selection, I'll be cheering the team on every step of the way!”
With nominated entries still open for the Championships until 18th August, the British squad may not be updated to include three replacements for Ros’ horses, with definite entries finalised by September 1st.
The Agria FEI Championships at Blenheim Palace take place from 18th – 21st September 2025.
