👑 ROS AND WALTER MAKE HISTORY 👑

Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo have performed superbly all week to win a record third Badminton Horse Trials title. Everyone in the sport of eventing is so proud of you, Ros Canter Eventing, and in awe of what you and this exceptional horse, owned by Archie and Michele Saul and bred by Lordships Stud and Pennie Wallace, have achieved.

Three Badminton and two Burghley wins - can they add a World Championships victory to that roll of honour in Aachen this summer?

The Burgham team is also very proud that, back in 2018, Lordships Graffalo had his first-ever international run in the CCI2*-S here, finishing eighth. If you look at today's Badminton podium, second-placed Falco (Tim Price) and third-placed Annaghmore Valoner (Harry Meade) have also competed at Burgham, gaining valuable experience on the path to the very top of the sport.

We love that our event, in its beautiful Northumbrian setting with its excellent cross-country courses and footing and its relaxed, friendly atmosphere, is valued by the very best riders in the world and plays a part in the education of these incredible horses.

Burgham runs from 30 July-2 August 2026, so come and join us, and see if you can spot the next CCI5* winner or Olympic gold medallist in the making!
