Ros is a British team event rider and multiple medal winner, having achieved 2018 World Champion and more recently winner of Badminton Horse Trials in May 2023 and European Eventing Champion August 2023. She grew up in Lincolnshire, riding with her two sisters, cantering around the stubble fields and jumping anything they could find as well as taking part in all pony club activities.
She started affiliated eventing on her first horse Silver Curtis, who took her through to advanced level while she juggled her education with competing. After gaining a Sports Science degree and travelling, Ros worked for renowned event horse producer Judy Bradwell. “Judy was instrumental in turning me in to a professional rider and I spent four great years with her,” says Ros.
At the end of 2011 Ros set up her own business at Hallington, on the family farm. She has enjoyed many successes, both in Young Event Horse Championships, Nations Cup teams and senior British teams, her first senior call up coming in 2017 where she and Allstar B came home with a European Championship team gold medal. The following year Ros and 'Alby' won both team and individual gold medals at the World Equestrian Games, and further medals followed.
Whilst Allstar B is no longer here, and Zenshera (Ros' other top horse in the early years of her career) has retired, other horses have moved up to the top level, most notably Lordships Graffalo, runner up at Badminton 2022, Pencos Crown Jewel and Izilot DHI. Lordships Graffalo is having an incredible year in 2023!
Ros has a fabulous team at home who help keep the show on the road, not least her parents Heather and Barney, husband Chris and daughter Ziggy.
