It echos of last years Paris Olympic Games: Ros Canter and Lordships Graffalo currently have 15 penalties on their score card for knocking down a red flag during their cross-country round at the Mars Badminton Horse Trials.It was an otherwise copybook round, with the duo pulling off the fastest round of the day so far.The penalties are currently under review by the ground jury, who will review video footage to assess whether the horses shoulders were the correct side of the red flag at the second open corner coming out of Equidry Huntsmans Close (26b).If the penalties are removed, Ros and Walter will go into the lead.I wouldnt have said he did anything wrong there. Hopefully we wont have another situation like the Olympics, but well see, said Ros. In Paris, the pair were also handed 15 penalties for a knocked flag and after a review from the ground jury they stayed in place. Great Britain carried on to secure team gold there, but it dashed Ros chances of an individual medalAn extraordinary horseRos and Walter stopped the clock with 11 seconds to spare. Hes an extraordinary horse. Im not even the fastest rider in the world but hes got such acceleration right to the end. Im a lucky girl to have him, said Ros, who added that he preparation this morning has been very different after the sad passing of Caroline Moore in March.Shes by my side on cross-country day normally, explained Ros. Even at the Olympics when she wasnt there, she was on the phone and messaging. I had to have a chat to myself and remember everything she would have said and remind myself that I can do it.Main image by Tim WilkinsonRelated contentLatest news from BadmintonHow to watch Mars Badminton Horse Trials 2025When riding isnt your day job: Badminton contenders with interesting jobsAll British top 10!
