It was with huge excitement that we watched the Futurity Graduate, Lordships Graffalo & Rosalind Canter finish with a clean slate to take the WIN at last weekend's MARS Equestrian's Badminton Horse Trials.
The SHBGB registered LORDSHIPS GRAFFALO by
GRAFENSTOLZ ex CORNISH QUEEN (Rock King), bred by the Lordships Stud & Pennie Wallace, came from behind to take the win with a stunning double clear.
Ros Canter, in mourning for her great friend and coach Caroline Moore, rose above any emotions around not having Caroline at Badminton this year to produce an amazing win 'For Caroline'.
Lordships Graffalo now heads into the league of ultimate event horses, and he is still only 13yrs old.
Lordships Graffalo was evaluated through the Futurity scheme at Writtle College.
