It's been an incredible Badminton so far! I daresay the whole Eventing world has huge admiration for Ros and Walter! Let's keep our fingers crossed for their final phase!
This is the era of Ros and Walter, and boy oh boy are we blessed to be here to witness it. 🥺
“It probably wouldn’t have looked so good if I wasn’t sitting on Walter!”
These were the unassuming words of Ros — who is competing here just 15 weeks after giving birth to a baby girl she is exclusively breastfeeding — immediately after that masterful cross-country clear at Mars Badminton aboard Lordships Graffalo.
“I just feel so unbelievably lucky to have a horse who allows me to come out and do this level when I’m maybe not at my best, believing that I can do it because I’m on him," said Ros.
“It’s been busy this week, having a baby and breastfeeding and all that too.
"Today I woke up and I thought, ‘You know what, Ros? Just try and believe that even if you don’t put quite so much time into the things you normally do, that you can still do it, that you’ve still got it’ — and he [Walter] just helped me all the time.”
