Ros had an extraordinary year in 2018. From the perspective of the big events it kicked off with a third place at Badminton on Allstar B, followed by third at Luhmuhlen with Zenshera.
Zenshera was also runner up at Millstreet, and finished Ros’ eventing season off with fifth at Pau, while Las Vegas gave her a first taste of the indoor Eventing Masters, taking the runner up spot in both Stuttgart and Stockholm. Ros finished the year as World number two in the FEI rankings, with Allstar B and Zenshera taking the top two spots on the British Eventing points winning table.
Ros was named Horse & Hound Professional Rider of the Year, but the biggest accolade of all, of course, was being crowned World Champion – alongside Allstar B, whilst leading Great Britain to the team gold medal. It’s not often that an event rider is invited on to BBC breakfast….
Ros was blown away by the support she received, both from owners, her team at home and her sponsors, as well as eventing enthusiasts and fellow competitors. She spent the first half of the 2019 season on the sidelines, while expecting a baby. Ziggy was born at the beginning of July, and just a month later Ros was back in action.
Allstar B recently won the CCI4*-L at Ballindenisk, whilst Ros also claimed both the CCI2*-L and the CCIYH2*-S at the Osberton International & Young Horse Championships with two of her up-and-coming rides.
